According to Ayatollah Khamenei’s website for preserving and publishing the works, the text of these statements is as follows:
The remembrance of God should not be forgotten. Everything we have is due to appeal and attention to His Holiness. He is the one who directs the hearts towards high goals; He is the one who crushes hearts; He is the one who unites hearts on a special point. Humans cannot attract and integrate hearts with any trick; This is the hand of divine power, this is the work of God. Thank God, people are on your way, they understand.
We should appreciate the opportunity. We who are responsible, God Almighty has given us a chance. This deadline of life and the deadline of finding a mission – that each of us found a mission in this system for a while – is coming to an end. We should appreciate this opportunity that has been given to us and make the most of it; Because when a person steps out of this world, all the doors of movement are locked by the person himself. Yes, it is possible that others ask for forgiveness for us and it will be beneficial for us, or it may be acts of charity; But we can’t do anything anymore, our hands are tied. As long as we are in this world, our hands are open; We can do many things. With one look, with one smile, with one word, with one movement of the hand, with one movement of the pen, you can now create good for yourself as much as the heavens and the earth – this is how it is in this world; Humans can do it, their hands are open – since we left here, their hands are closed; We can’t do anything anymore; Unless others remember us, give alms, ask for forgiveness, something will come. which will not replace what we could do ourselves. Therefore, this opportunity should be appreciated.
If we want to use this appreciation in the true sense of the word, we must bring all the forces to the stage; Really, let’s get into the field and look back at ourselves, see our own flaws. Each of us has flaws; It is not too little. Usually, the faults of us humans are much more than our virtues; We are not complacent ourselves. If it were not like this, someone like the Prophet with that greatness – who is pure light and there is no darkness in his being – would not ask for forgiveness. The Prophet also asked for forgiveness; “May God ask for forgiveness in the whole day, seventy times.” He said: I ask for forgiveness many times a day. “Aneh Lighan Ali Qalabi”. Human nature is like this. We are a collection of weaknesses; But the Almighty God has also placed in us the power of progress and infinite goodness, so that we can overcome these weaknesses in the same way; One after another, let’s turn these zeros into numbers, let’s turn these negatives into positives. God does not oppress us. We can turn all this back to the number. Whatever we did, we went ahead. We have to realize that the amount that remains is the lack of our work. That is, if a person does not realize his weaknesses, the shortcomings of his work, and his defects, he will fall behind. One of the benefits of the competition is this. In the competition, because a competitor is close to a person, a person understands his own deficiency; However, when a person is running alone, he needs a time, for example, he stops and coughs and sneezes a few times; He no longer knows how much the same thing sets a person back. When a person is holding a person’s hand and does not stop for two or five seconds, one sees how much the person has progressed. In our working life, there are seconds, minutes, and hours behind; We have to see these to think about compensation. If we cannot make amends, at least we should confess to God Almighty; “And if it is too long and too weak to act, it is false to confess one’s sins as a means.” (1) One of the ways to get closer to the Lord is this: confessing one’s sins and confessing one’s shortcomings, shortcomings, and darkness that is in our being. . Pay attention to this issue. All this is possible with God’s blessings.
We are in a good time. We should thank God for being in such a time and God Almighty has given us such a great blessing, such a great opportunity to be useful to our society, to our country, to Islam and to history. There was a day when we could not. Those who wanted, were motivated, had the courage, but were not able; Today, those who have courage and motivation are capable. Appreciate this and thank God. May we send mercy to the pure soul of our honorable Imam and also to the dear martyrs and mujahideen of the right path who opened this path for us.
Peace be upon you and may God’s mercy and blessings be upon you
