What was most important was the sincerity and devotion of the Imam. The Imam behaved in the same manner at public and private gatherings as inside the house. It made no difference. He would mention a subject in the same manner both among the people and inside the house. There was no difference between his private and public appearances. Of course at home, he would engage in arguments and play games with the children.
There is no difference between ‘inside and outside’ the house: Sayyid Ahmad Khomeini
