As it is hard for one to consider himself in the presence of the Almighty Allah all the time, the perception of the presence of Imam Zaman ( AS) is also hard and requires a program and practice.

We believe that Imam Mahdi ( AS) lives alongside of us and the extent of his divinely being covers all our life and world. Now, how should we observe the politeness for his presence and consider ourselves before that divinely being?

As it is hard for one to consider himself in the presence of the Almighty Allah all the time, the perception of the presence of Imam Mahdi (AS) is usually hard for us and requires a program and practice. For example, one should earmark some times to make his ablution ( vothu ) and sit towards Qeble ( Kaaba) and, in a moral state, consider himself in the presence of Imam Mahdi (AS) and to make the feeling of presence with consistent program and practice. This program of action and inculcation as suggested by Imam Khomeini (PBUH) as to be effective could take us in the presence of Imam Mahdi ( AS) for moments. Imam Khomeini (PBUH) reiterates that one thing that is useful for educating the human being is inculcation. If one wishes to train himself, he should inculcate the relevant matters to himself by repetition. A matter that should have effect on one's ego could be more established by repetitions and inculcations. (Imam Khomeini's Sahifa, Vol. 13: p. 397)

There is no way for the perception and feeling of presence unless practice. Even in repentance one should consider himself in his presence. In fact, repenting towards the Almighty Allah is always subject to remorse for one' conduct and an apology to Imam Mahdi ( AS) as well as to make him a mediator( shafii). This repentance and remorse that may always be said and felt should happen in the presence of Imam Mahdi ( AS), Baghiatollahelazam. 

A summary of the characteristics of a waiter of Imam to come: 

1. He should not care about himself,

2. He should care about others

…others, for example, Syrians, Palestinians, Egyptians, Bahrainis and even the oppressed people of Europe. 

To care about others and not oneself or sacrificing oneself are the two wings by which a waiter can fly.May Allah expedite his coming ( Allahoma ajjel levaliekalfaraj)
