Everyone has this need [for a savior], either consciously or unconsciously. All religions have promised “relief” [with the coming of a savior] and a great, divine movement at the end of history, which is of course not the end of history. When the era of the Imam of the Time begins, the real world and the real life of humanity will begin to take shape. In any case, all religions have promised an end to the current situation that exists in life today.
