In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Preserving people's presence at the scene
Firstly, let me congratulate this new government, express hope for its success and bring luck to this country. The subjects consist of things that you all know and I project as remembrance; otherwise, you all know that which is necessary for us is that we should consider keeping people at the scene. One aspect of the subject depends on the government, the president, Islamic Consultative Assembly and the other belongs to the people themselves. If you keep this side, we are sure of majority of the nation will preserve that side. This side should decide to treat each other like friends and do the works with one voice.
If in a government a ministry wants to raise voice against something, affairs would not get along. Now in a country that enjoy peace of mind and are not concerned, if at all such a country exists, or if there is a regime, with no opponent, they will not suffer much. However, in a regime, you know all are opposed to you and seek to fabricate something and spread, say whatever they want and do whatever they want, in such a situation we and you are now entangled, reason and equity requires us to stop raising voice against one another. When all are opposed to us, if there might supposedly exist some difference of opinion among us, we should work together to repel it.
It is said that in such situation the tribes that were among the big tribes of Iran at that time were opposed to one another. One group pulled one way and perhaps they were at war with each other as well, but if one attacked a group, all were united to repel the assailant. Well, this is the requirement of reason urging man to repel one who wants to attack his family. If they have difference, they will later liquidate their accounts. We are now standing at such condition. All countries, excluding a few of them, are opposed to us. Some voice their objection and act accordingly; some other are opposed but do not reveal.
Within the country, you see there are evils to introduce difference and do something. Thank God, these problems have now become predominantly quiet. There are still some objection and reason necessitates that those who are committed to Islam and the Islamic Republic and do not want to be under the domination of superpowers should unify their ranks. Such a big act of being relieved of the obligation of big powers, such an ordeal will not be possible unless a whole nation and government are together. If not, it will not be possible. Whatever has so far been accomplished has been done under the shadow of this unity. If a difference has existed, it has been trivial and you should strive to avoid that petty difference. That is, you should act in a way that people would understand that you want to serve.
Involving people in the affairs
When people saw you plan to serve them, naturally they will help you. To this end, all ministries, everyone in charge of a ministry should improve its ministry in favor of the people in a way that when people enter that ministry, they leave with complete satisfaction and peace mind. If this finds expression, people will be present unquestionably. People are good people. We should appreciate people; we are indebted to them. What counts is that we should serve them reciprocally.
We should translate slogans into action. Every minister in his ministry should mobilize the personnel in the ministry and everyone under his supervision so that they would treat people well and mete out healthy treatment towards people, in addition, he should mobilize people to participate in affairs as I have pointed out repeatedly. You also said that if one wants to administer a country unless people's participation is not there, it will not be possible to manage it. When people participated in activities, when you brought people to join, those who are now serving and did serve you, us and Islam and brought you to this position, do not reject or brush them aside. Involve them in works. When you involved them in the works and they saw that you want to cooperate with them, they will also cooperate with you. Without cooperation of the like of bazaar, workers, I do not know, farmers, without these different layers that exist, no progress will be made. They should also be entangled and help in the works. Let them do the works they can afford. For instance, the business persons who are committed and want to serve this country, not anyone, you should let them serve.
Do not follow the idea to state control everything. Government has a limit. The limits are clear. Law has specified them, but let people participate, let bazaar participate. Supervise closely the factories let the workers should be dealt with unjustly. When you unite your staff and they see your affection, what counts is that they should experience the spirit of love from you, when they observed you love them, they will also reciprocate. This is natural. I hope that such a thing finds expression and we witness that after a few months you can win the satisfaction all layers. I implore God, Almighty and Blessed, you would serve as you wish and that people would also serve you. I particularly want the clerics across the country to help the government in such situation and help the ideals of Islam. If they want, God forbid, once to do something there, I believe they will not, but if somehow something happens that bring about defeat for the government, causes defeat, let me say for Majlis and the like, this is something that right we want to sacrifice ourselves with our own hands. We should employ our reason and comprehend that the paws of demon from which we should rescue entangles us. We should not sit and wait others come and liberate us. We have no other one to do so. We are by ourselves. We have no other to help us and save us. We should rescue ourselves. This depends on you, on `ulama' of Islam on Majlis and the like.
I should also thank the Majlis that settled the question soon in a way that there is no instability. They are also appreciated.
Consider God to be present in doing things
You are also God willing serving all. Moreover all of us are serving the nation. You should consider God to be present in all affairs. What is important is this spirit of service. We will depart from here. There is no doubt in it. I leave sooner followed by you. This is no problem. It is unquestionable. We should think when we departed and were asked there you as president what you as president did for people? What you did as prime minister? What you did as minister? What you did as deputy? The nation will be asked what they did for Islam. What counts is that we should have credit and prestige there. If we correct that issue, both here and there will be correct. If God forbid we want to do any wrong, we will be blessed neither here nor there.
I beseech God, Almighty and Blessed, to grant success, happiness and health to all of you. I appreciate all of you who are engaged in serving with mutual understanding, properly and sincerely.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
