to the border of hopelessness . And then you say "I've been here all
along.live with faith i this kind of God.when you face a problemin your
life say,God I know that you know how to fix it,but you don't.

He is doing it on purpose.Don't lose hope!He knows.I once advised that
when you take the youth to various camps,don't put them in so many
classes.Instead ,teach them through actions.they said "How can we teach
them through actions"?I said ,serve them soup one night for dinner".
they said ,"Well , we do this often" I said , "One night ,do not
distribute spoons." tell them <sorry boys and girls<there are no
spoons for your soup tonight."you will see how one person will
curse.another will mock,another will say,"these people do not have the
competence to manage <they didn't even bring any spoons.How can we
eat soup without
spoons?". Another person will drink it from the bowl,another person will
take out a spoon they brought themselves.one person will give their
spoon to another person.another will make fun of others saying,"I
brought my spoon and yo didn't." everyone will their true colors
here.once they show their true colors,then you tell them,"the spoons
were here the whole time,behind this curtain.we would like to thank all
those who reacted nicely". after this distribute the spoons everyone
will bow their heads in shame.all the deficiencies in life are like
this.they are all behind the curtain.what is it that you want?you want
to get married?It's here ,behind the curtain.believe it!.It's behind the
curtain.you want a house?It's behind the curtain.you want a loan?It's
here,but doesn't give it.He doesn't give it on purpose.He wants to see
your reaction.God has it,God has all of these.he has everything.Why do
you doubt Him?. the average person searches everywhere to see where it's
at,and I'm saying that it's all behind the curtain!all of your needs
are behind the curtain.He doesn't give 'He doesn't give it on purpose.in
reference again to the camps, that night when the youth became
embarrassed by their reactions to having spoons,if you tell them another
night that there is no food tonight,they will all laugh and say,"No
problem"believe me! they'll say ,No problem.you will see satisfaction in
their eyes.they have become humble and submissive now,because they were
taught how to become humble and submissive.the night before ,they
were embarrassed by their reactions.if they are told ,"there is no
dinner tonight ,get up and go"the youth will say,"OK,no problem will go
one night without food."if they are asked why they don't complain about
not having dinner,the youth will say,"As soon as we complain,it may come
out from behind the curtain,and we will be embarrassed."this is how to
teach the youth how to become true human beings.interact with them in
this way.God is my witness I am not trying to entertain you with my
words. I want you to GRASP the lesson.live like the Imam khomeini.this
is how the Imamlived.do not live without planning ! make your plan! but
next to it,have a little bit of trust in God. I remeber I told my
friends at these youth camps,"let's do something ,someone has thrown
their t-shirt over there.take his t-shirt, put it aside,and substitute
it for another one.throw the substitute on the ground so it becomes
muddy and dirty.when the youth came ,we asked him,"is this your t-shirt
on the ground?"he replied ,"Ahh!yes you[curse word],you threw my
t-shirt on the ground!"he said a cure word.then we showed him his
t-shirt and said,"that was a fake one thrown on the ground.you cursed
too soon".after that ,whatever incident occured at camp,no one wouid
even utter a complaint.if it was said ,"your shoes are missing."they
would reply,"It's no problem."the same person ,who two days ago would
have gotten angry over these incidents,found out that everything is just
a test,a game,an illusion.
