The leadership of Imam Khomeini and the victory of the Islamic revolution is the basis of the movement and the big change of the today's world.
The special privilege that the Imam who was going to pass away left behind and that has influenced all of the people of the world and that in addition to the thoughts and policies is the method of the life of Imam; that is a simple and modest method and that is unfamiliar for our contemporary world. In other words all of the individuals that served Imam had a comfortable life and to the extent that it was possible they enjoyed having power over and dominating their governments or that was like this that it was at the world level but Imam was like that. In addition to that the personality of Imam has a number of dimensions and it does not just have one of those meaning that in his personality he has put together politics with morality, piety, being plain and humility and those traits can not be seen in none of of the distinguished personalities; and perhaps we may see many scientists who have succeeded in having traits that include being mystical, from the aspect of morality and other than those but Imam had a special feature and was that although he was in a situation that all of the things that wanted and all of the things that he wanted to do were prepared for him he was not influenced by them. In his life he chose a method that was like the simplest life of the people and the most poor ones and that subject in addition to having a soul and moral dimension for Imam and perhaps someone like me may not know of that that has placed a deep effect not only on the inner aspect of the Iranians but also on the inner aspect of a million foreign people.
