Speech [economic dependency is the source of dependencies]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Iran today is in need of work. These gatherings that take place here and outside the house, I do not deem them befitting or necessary because this hampers the work. It should be for the sake of demonstration. Demonstration motivates the spirit which goes a great deal towards the progress of the country's affairs. But it should not be for always or in a continuation. People must work. A farmer must be occupied in farming. Those who have plants should be engaged in production. The industries, whether big or small, should be working. Persons should see themselves committed to the fact that the country today stands in need. A country with ruined economics, indeed, is needy. So, do not let this need to prolong or stay as it is. This would push us to remain attached or depend upon others for our every necessity which the past regime has entangled us in. There is a dependency existing today in Iran which is created by the past regime in the side of agriculture under a name of" Land Reformation". This caused a chaos and an upset in agriculture. So, we had to, and we are depending on others as far as the nourishment of the people is concerned. The livestock in all its dimensions has been spoiled and wasted. Meat should be imported, brought from abroad. This is the need that today we stand at.

Where we are attached or dependent on from the economical aspect, this causes us to be attached politically too. This would entail a military dependency either. As such our country reverts back to the same position as was before. Now we want the country to be ours. So, the country is now of the people themselves. When such a thing is achieved- the country belongs to the people- some elements have penetrated into the masses. They are provoking people. A great many provocations there are. For instance, agriculture. They have brought it to a standstill so that to hold it, yielding the due and desired results. Similarly the factories. They do not want them to run smoothly. They do not want a peaceful run in this country. When it is so the factories will not run. The industries will be at a halt. Its agriculture too will not work. So, there will be no progress at all in its industry and etc.

The main thing is that a few are there who do not want this country to enjoy stability. They do not like an Islamic Republic, a humane one, to exist in Iran. They are after chaos, destruction, and spoil. Wherever they go, they cause such destruction. Wherever one looks at, a few people are on strike. Why are they on strike? They want to create disturbances. One group incites another group. The youths too soon believe. A man, an individual comes, says something, and the youths accept from him what he says. The result: strike. They give up their work.

The strike- its aftermath is harmful, a blow to this country, to the economics, to the very prestige of our country. They do not understand this thing. Everywhere is strike. Everyone everywhere is on strike. In army- one goes and there is strike. Go into factories, there is strike. Schools too are on strike. Students too strike. All and every class. Now it has become a custom that every class should go on strike. These people do not conceive the very gist that the strikes spoil the prestige of a country. It reflects this thing abroad. They too give wind to these things. Likewise, the big powers. They translate this such as to say that there is no stability in a country. It stands in a need to be administered. A person should be brought in to run the country. So these people- they do not understand. They have no attention to this matters that those who come and deliver a speech to them and incite them to go on strike, and a group too follows them shouting and clamoring. All this they reflect to demonstrate the very country itself to the effect that there is no stability and no calm. It is a shaky one, evasive one as there is no central government.

What a hand is this amidst the people that shout for Islam? What hand is amidst the people that provoke the youths to abuse the clergies? Wherever we go, we see a group of youths, already fooled ones, disputing with a group of clergymen. What does this backwardness perform? These words, unknown one, that have appeared are being utilized amidst you and in each town to create differences among you. But these people do not know what hand is at work behind them. They do not know the effects of its reflection abroad. When its reflection established that Iran cannot run all by itself, they bring one stubborn who performs a coup d'etat and reaches to the account of all of you. They don't understand as to why things happen like this. Why some of our youths are in such a sleep? Why are they so poor at understanding? Why don't they understand the depth of the issues?

One individual in the name of Islam and in the name of the Holy Qur'an and what not, without having any least information about Islam and any knowledge of Qur'an goes to the people and incites them to strike and provokes them to scold the scholars, clergymen, the oracles, and to all. These people don't know that these things establish a ground aboard for their claim to the effect that there exists no stability in the country. Stability should be brought back. They do not know that the enemies have surrounded the country. The profits which they used to gain before now they cannot utilize. Hence, they want this country to be bereft of calm and stability. Afterwards, they stage a coup and establish a ground to their own gains. Why are our youths so much in sleep? Why do they lend their ears to men who have no knowledge of Islam? They are crushing Islam in the name of Islam. They should wake up- at least a little. For a while they should think as to whether this is the time for strikes. A country entangled at its each side and its neighbors all adversaries to it, at such a time is it befitting that every youth and each group go everywhere and bring about a strike?

Today strike is forbidden religiously. Those who go on strike are betrayers to Islam. stop these crimes. Stop this game. Don't be cheated. From these people they want to be benefited. There is only one individual who wants to take advantage from you, the pure-hearted youths. These youths are joyful. So they want to take benefit for themselves from you. Whether you go on strike or go clamoring in the street or do what no, they want to draw benefit from you. And you too are negligent of the matters, and ignorant of things. You go on strike. You quarrel. You do rowdism. You utter things. You scold. You abuse. You introduce the country as unstable one. An unstable country needs a guardian. And the guardian too should be from this side or that. They will beat you and expel you. They don't conceive the havoc that has hailed on this country. This is a program they have charted out for you. Such programs are designed for you from every side. Everywhere there is a chaos. Everywhere a strike. Everywhere there is a movement. Everywhere there are meetings and speeches, scolding this and that. Abuses to clergymen. What all these mean to that what we are entangled in? In this country, why the inhabitants of a country should be adversaries to one another?

Today when all should be together, all should be hand in hand with one another, all should be united. All should be committed to the laws of Islam. But contrarily you scold and abuse the Islamic standards. You confiscate the property of people contrary to Islamic regulations. You throw others' things in the deserts. Fields and gardens of people you take away. All these things are against the Islamic standards. They incite you and incite the youths to do so. There is a hand concealed behind the curtain to create action in you. These actions are to prove that Iran is not able to be independent. There exists chaos. Now there is a chaos from one end to the other in Iran. One does not see the chaos. But why it should be such? Why you should not awake from your sleep? Why our youths should not come to their senses? Today when we are confronting a big power, why should you fight each other in every town and city? In the name of `backwardness' you should insult your clergies? Under what name, I don't know, you should take from the people their gardens? You occupy the peoples' houses driving out children and women? So, what is this? What situation it is you have created? Why you should not be bound to the laws of Islam that has brought you so far in your struggle. It was Islam that expelled Muhammad-Rida Pahlavi from your houses and from your country. Now you have turned your backs to Islam against its standards. If you do so, God will slap you in a way that you never get up any more. Revert to yourself a little. Come back a while to the laws of Islam. Have we done the revolution to do what ever we want? Because we revolutionized we listen to no one, not even to the government nor to a clergy, to nobody at all. The revolution has emanated from Islam, not from Islam to something else. Have you done the Revolution so as to go from Islam to something other? That is why you are doing whatever you like? You have migrated to Islam from some other thing. You have brought the Islamic regime into being. So, do yield, do submit, and do resign to Islam.

You go into the army you will see they have formed councils or advisory boards. An army of monotheism- which doesn't know at all what death, is. Someone, a communist, has come close to them and has dissipated the idea that an army should have no faith all, no system and no discipline. He has canvassed that there is no up and down in life. This is tantamount to saying that we do not want an army. The system or the faith of monotheism means that all should follow divine commands. All should have attention to God. Everyone whatever job he performs should be for God and the sake of God only. In the system of monotheism all are one and the same. All are glued to one another. A system wherein each works for him, and one abuses the other is not monotheism. It is not monotheism in which the inferior does not obey the superior and those in higher station oppress the lower ones. This is a satanic regime or system and not a divine one. In a divine system all aspects should be safe and preserved. All should be alive to the existence of God. Army should be in the service. They should obey the higher ranking officers. Love and affection should flow from above to low. They should not oppress. All should be for the sake of God. A farmer should work for God. A worker, a trader- all should work for God. In academic circle, the work should go for God. This and such a system is that of monotheism. Otherwise, it is not correct that everything to be wasted and ruined. There should be disturbances, chaos. A soldier should not obey his officer and officer not obeys his superior. In police department too, everything should be upset. No one obeys the commissioner or the head of the police. Likewise, all the departments should be similar situation. The government- no one obeys. So such a country wills a wild one. Now too they say that we are wild one, uncivilized. O, you youths, please do attend to this country. O, you, who want to serve faith and honesty, be aware that they are trying to create deviation among you. Anyway, I recommend you to preserve the unity among you. I give you good tidings that you are victors at the end of the day. These analectic and mischievous ones are bound to hell. You, my dear youths, your way is that of God. So, you will be victorious. God willing, you will prosper. I thank my sisters, my brothers, and I recommend you all that whatever work you perform do have God in view. Every work should be for God's sake. Your attention should be to the source of good. God will back you.
