Efforts for the development of the country

From the issues that you and others have reported of the many of the treacheries that have been committed against this country and its people, one can infer that what efforts were made to prevent our progress in all fields and our brains were thwarted from working and making scientific progress while they destroyed our agriculture. You can see how much of our arable land is lying barren and how much of the waters of our rivers such as the Karoun are wasted. In the name of progress and industrialization, they put forward the question of" land reforms". Their similitude is that of a crow that wanted to learn to walk like the quail and in the process forget its own style of walking. God willed to rescue the country from their hands and the matters and decisions fell upon the people themselves.
What you mentioned that there was coordination in the affairs is a very good and right thing. Because, unless the affairs are not socially performed, in that sense and all the individuals do not have the same method and objective, the tasks shall not progress. We are seeing that at the same time that this country that has fallen into our hands had not made any progress, yet its human beings have been transformed into zealous and active human beings, which itself is proof that we can handle all our tasks ourselves. Although America does not want and will not allow us to do our job, but our nation and we shall with the help of God, intend to work in such a way that they cannot thwart us. For this reason, it is necessary that individuals become familiar with the sciences- of course, a science that is at the service of the people. In any case, today we have many responsibilities and we must develop our country with our own hands. If we do not do such then we have not been thankful to God. The question of agriculture is the topmost priority of our country. Praise is due to God; in terms of natural resources, our country has everything. It has good land, water and its people are intelligent and are interested in agriculture, and the government must encourage, strengthen them, and place the required facilities at their disposal.

Strengthening the spirit of faith in the people

I thank the gentlemen very much for their toil and troubles. The main thing is that God grants reward for these efforts and for their service to the people; and especially their services to the rural folks shall not be wasted. You should attempt to strengthen the spirit of faith in them by means of the individuals with whom you are in contact and by using the services of the clergy and sermonizing. If the faith of the people is strengthened, all the tasks are performed with ease. For example, this same Construction Jihad has done so much for the war. This is because of the sincerity of the youth who regard the country as their own and work for the sake of God. When they have such a motivation, the tasks make good progress; it should not be such that if there is any shortcoming or problem in your job, you become apathetic. Continue with your own task. I pray for all of you and hope that God grants you the blessing to serve these poor people, which is the biggest form of worship in His Presence.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
