The magnificence and the greatness of Imam Khomeini has to do with his perfection and him living a simple life
This is a reality that cannot be doubted and that means that Imam Khomeini though he was magnificent and he was great he lived a completely simple life. I personally was present in Imam Khomeini's home and close by I saw the room that he used to live in. Before I entered that place I was feeling that I will enter a big space and in front of its door cars that had the latest models are parked. I supposed that he has lived in a construction that has been magnificent but when I became present in there all of my assumptions became false since that great human being's life has been the same and equal to the normal life of the Iranians and in fact I should say that in his life he completely devoted himself to make religion excellent and to make the Islamic people excellent. The life of Imam was simpler than my life and I am a teacher. He is always alive. And I having his support have come to Iran. When I stood behind the door of his room I kissed his picture from behind the window and I said in my heart: but you will never be forgotten. You are always alive.
