Government services should be in equal advantage to all

I have a couple of words to say. One about my own condition. Thanks to God I am not bad. Perhaps a great many formalities they prepared for me. Doctors and the minister of health made formalities which we clergies are not accustomed to. I will be glad only if I know that the people in charge also care the poor ones- the dwellers of huts and tents. In the days of the arrogance, no attention was ever paid to them. So, in this era let them enjoy some care and attention. The health which is a prime necessity to all should be available for them. Formalities to one and nothing to others; it should not be so. I hope the doctors wherever they are, and the government and the health minister and the nation itself should be mindful of this fact that the poor and dwellers of huts are children of God. They should not be in troubles and difficulties.

The necessity for the active participation in the elections of presidency of the Republic

The other word I would like to say is: Tomorrow is Friday- a blessed day in a blessed month of Ramadan. The commemorated birthday of the great Prophet took place in that. Again it is blessed because our nation has achieved their desire which they had been cherishing for long. That is the appointment of a president of the Republic. In this regard I have a few points. If those points take shape, I will be too glad. My sickness is not so important.
Tomorrow all the people should go to the ballets- without exception. Don't be unmindful to what the country is in need of. The fate of the nation and Islam is related to it. It should not be such that a person wanted to become president of the Republic and now he becomes indifferent because of no prospect of his winning the office. Similarly those who are his friends withdraw from voting. Such shouldn't happen. It would be better if those who know they will not win persuade those who will possibly win so that the votes attain the needed sufficiency. Our heads shall not be downcast on the core that the nation has no head to these matters or to its own fate and that of Islam's. So, all together go to the ballets. Another thing: This is for the whole nation. So do not develop any differences at the ballets. Any of these, candidates who win the votes, shall be in the interest of the nation because who has won will do a service to the country. Therefore, do not behave with animosity with each other. Be brothers with one another. If one becomes president, you help him. This should not be the case that you beat him, destroy him before he could become president. Do not let happen such a thing at ballets tomorrow. Or some classes among the people may not participate. I request all classes among the nation, the Fars, the Turk, the Kurd, the Balouch, the Bakhtiyari, and the Turkmen- are all classes and groups or tribes that exist in Iran I humbly request them not to behave in a way that could have a bad impact abroad. It should not reflect that you are a nation with no Islamic training. You are not a nation to quarrel with one another on worldly matters. The presidency of the Republic is nothing, not too important that you pay heed to. The presidency of the Republic is good only in the case of rendering services to the people. Otherwise, it should pace the path towards hell. Do not be much after the votes to quarrel among you for the sake of one vote- either more or less. Refrain from this thing because it entails discomfort to others. Even me here in hospital shall be anxious and uneasy. Another point: When the president of the Republic whoever by the blessings of God be appointed, let not this happen that others get cross and angry and anguished. This country is yours, to all. This country shall ever be yours, whether you are a president, a guard or a clergyman like me. The country shall be there. After a president's appointment, help him. Don't retreat or withdraw or get angry. But all be together and assist him in the job. You must demonstrate your maturity, your growth to the world, to show that you all are combined and unanimously can handle the country's affairs. When one becomes the president, the other should take up another job and so forth. The affairs should be jointly managed. I am not allowed to speak more than this. May God help you all and be prosperous.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
