So, the movement of people toward the perfect human is not a physical movement; rather, it is a “cultural,” “social,” and “political” movement. Based on this, people must move toward the perfect human in three alternating stages until the conditions for his government are fully met[1]:

The first stage is the mental stage. They should believe that the perfect human’s government will be realized if the conditions for it are met. They should desire the Mahdi’s government from their hearts and not accept anyone else’s government. A real and serious demand for the Mahdi’s government[2], which requires rejecting any other government with any foundation and function, is society’s first step toward this lofty goal.

The second stage is the verbal stage. They should express their strong belief that the perfect human’s government will be realized if the conditions for it are met. They should openly declare their heartfelt desire for the Mahdi’s government and their heartfelt rejection of anyone else’s government, using all their abilities and resources. They should present this as a public demand and a social slogan[3].
