War of any kind is never a solution. War is never a solution, no matter what manner. Because sometimes, you want to just voice your opinion peacefully, but some bad people come in and mess it up and make it more bloody for their own benefit. And in the end, only the poor, innocent people suffer. (Yes.) So, I would like your people to have more peace within themselves, more trust in Allah. In the Bible, it says, “Not even one hair falls down out of His will.” Everything works according to Hiers will. […]
(Hi, Master. I have a question about Iran. Because you said it’s not a big problem only there, but there are also problems everywhere.) Yes, yes. (But…) You are Iranian; of course, you are concerned about Iran. (Exactly, exactly, that’s why.) Go ahead. It’s alright, love. Tell me. (So, would You please shed some light on the situation in Iran that would help the Iranian people? Would You please say something about the current situation in Iran?) I am very, very troubled. I’m very, very sad about some unpeaceful development over there. (Yes.) It also took me by surprise, took me by surprise. And I love your people. I think you can feel that. (Yes, and they love You very much.) Not just your people, but, of course, I love people who are in more trouble. And it makes me toss and turn a lot.
I pray for your country, but I want your people to have more peace within themselves and more trust in Allah. Everything is temporary; even the worst situation is temporary. The more we struggle, the worse it gets, and it results in more suffering and bloodshed and division between your people. Just let it be in God’s hands. If we want to change the outside situation, the best thing is to change from inside. Yes? (Yes.) We have to have peace within ourselves first. We have to have peace with other beings on the planet, and then peace will be in our home and in our country. Now, we all have to regulate what we owe to society in the karmic pattern.
Overall, I think Iran is a freer country than many other countries, don’t you say? You know why I know that? If you look at other countries, it could be worse. One thing I told you already: the outside situation is a manifestation of our inner state of self. (Yes.) And the whole country’s situation is a manifestation of the inner self of this group, of this national population. So, the population as a whole shares the karmic connection. Even though sometimes we are innocent, we also are dragged into a bad karmic whirlpool of the collective mass. Now, I just think the Iranian people should have more patience. Whatever the situation, we should make the best of it. We should be thankful that Iran has peace in the whole nation. Because they have peace, therefore many extraordinary inventions have happened in Iran. (Yes, yes.)
Recently, I heard they even are making artificial lungs now. I had not heard that before. Heart, we heard about, but lungs is difficult. Now, they are making it already in Iran. Many other extraordinary inventions came from Iran, and I’m very, very proud of your people. They’re so smart. And also they have peace within the country. So, it’s better we keep this peace first. You see what I mean? (Yes.) Like, if a president has been voted more than the others, then let it be, let it be. There’s a song of the Beatles called “Let It Be.” Let it be. As long as the country has peace, at least we can build up something. I learned a lot about Iran. I think it’s a freer country than many other countries. Many other countries would envy Iran because I’ve seen some Iranian disciples can come to see me. That’s number one. That means the government is relaxing. I don’t know how relaxed, but some countries could not even go out! (Yes, yes.) I mean before.
And now I have seen some footage on TV, different TV. I saw Iranian girls, they wear jeans, and they wear tight shirts and all that. They don’t have to cover their face all the time. And they go to college in jeans, they walk on the street in jeans. I don’t mean jeans are beautiful, more than what you wear, I don’t mean that. But at least there’s freedom of choice. And I saw on TV that Iranian girls nowadays go a lot to do their nose job or whatever, plastic surgery, and not very expensive. And Iranian music is very modern, popular and stuff. I just look here and there, and I think that your country is doing fine. I mean, one president is not to be blamed for everything. And even if you think this president has been voted in a doubtful manner, we have to give everything the benefit of the doubt – better than causing unrest and bloodshed. (Yes.)
War of any kind is never a solution. War is never a solution, no matter what manner. Because sometimes, you want to just voice your opinion peacefully, but some bad people come in and mess it up and make it more bloody for their own benefit. And in the end, only the poor, innocent people suffer. (Yes.) So, I would like your people to have more peace within themselves, more trust in Allah. In the Bible, it says, “Not even one hair falls down out of His will.” Everything works according to Hiers will. I hope your people trust more in God. Because the more we resist the situation, the more tension builds up, and I don’t know how much more trouble it will be. (Yes.) We should look at the whole nation as a family. And maybe some members in the family are not to your liking or are behaving in some way that is not favorable, but we have to be patient. (Yes.) We have to be patient – better than suffering, bloodshed, division, and war within the country. You’ve seen it yourself: many countries have civil war, brother against brother. That’s worse. (Yes.)
Having a president is better than no president, for example. And who knows, maybe people like him. He has been president a long time, I have to be frank, and he has helped a lot of poor people and people still like him. I’m sure that they like the other candidate as well, but maybe they – the people, the whole population – had not enough time to study the other candidate as long as the existing president, the old president. So, it’s possible that he has been voted. (Yes.) I’m sure that the new candidate also is favored by many, many people, but not necessarily more than the other presidential candidate. (Yes.) I have nothing to gain from your country, from any president or candidate. I’m just telling you because you asked me, because I wish peace on your country. Only in peace can we develop anything that is beneficial to the citizens of the nation. Only in peace can we talk nicely around the table. Only in peace can we have enough mental power to think of what to do next in the future for the benefit of the whole country.
We are in a habit of wanting everything, but this world is not a place for us to have everything we want on a plate because we have to earn it; we have to create it. Heaven is our own making. Yes? (Yes.) And if the country, the citizens are virtuous, good, then even a bad president will turn good. If the whole country is not equipped, then even a good president cannot do much. (Yes, yes.) So, take whatever God arranges, even if you think it’s not proper. Who knows? Who knows what is proper in the Heavenly plan? (Yes. OK.)
I love your people, any side, any opposition, any position, winner, loser I love them all. I hope you take my opinion as just a humble opinion of an outsider, of a very objective outsider who has no interest to gain, nothing to lose even in your country’s affairs. But I love your people, truly. God knows that. Now, you see, in your country, it’s really very good, very good, very good already for a strict Muslim country. Many countries are more strict. I heard that people are being lashed all the time or a lot of times because of wearing jeans in public or trousers in public. In Iran, they run around with jeans, tight jeans, and nobody has been lashed. This is a very good sign already. I mean, of course, we want more. We always want more. Everybody wants more in every country, but we have to take it easy. (OK.) We have to take it easy, and no matter what government, we have to fully support it. We have to fully support; otherwise we get nowhere. Struggling, fighting, we get nowhere. We never progress with war and fighting. You see, you never heard in Iran that people get lashed for wearing trousers. In some countries, if you wear trousers you get lashed. Be constructive, not always criticizing.
Any government, we have to work fully with it. Remember Americans last time, the voting season? You know, between now President Obama and Senator Clinton, (Yes.) Hillary Clinton? (Yes.) They were both almost neck to neck in popularity. But, in the end, only one of them should be running. Otherwise, the Democratic voting would be too divided, and then they might lose to the other candidate of the other party. Do you remember? (Yes, Master.) So they sat together, talked together, and Hillary Clinton got out. And not only she got out, she went all out of herself to support President Obama. Yes? (Yes, Master.) And “Yes, we can!” she said. Yes, at that time, not many of her followers really wanted this situation because it looked like she could be also winning. But you see what I mean? They put the interest of the nation first. They united together to show the world that we are grown up. (Yes, Master.) That we are Americans, that we work for America. We don’t work for personal glory, gain or loss. (Yes, Master.) That is what I call a great statesman or woman; otherwise, we get nowhere. OK? (Yes, Master.) Right.
