Souls are liable to estrangement. Such methods should be adopted that the estrangement should be first removed, then the Word will have effect. (391:1) If one of the believers be kind to one of the negligent ones and with perfect love should gradually make him understand the reality of the Cause of God in such a way that the latter should know in what manner the Religion of God hath been founded and what its object is, doubtless he will become changed; excepting abnormal souls who are reduced to the state of ashes ands whose hearts are like stones, yea, even harder. (391:2) If by this method every one of the friends of God were to try to lead one soul to the right path, the number of the believers would be doubled every year. But this should be carried out with perfect wisdom and in such a manner that no harm would ever result therefrom.
(391:3)
