Every now and then we find one immature devotee. But such devotees should not be treated with harshness. There is a nice example.
It is the example of a mango. At first the mango is green, and green mangos are very bitter and sour. One does not wants to eat such a mango. But by watering of the tree and sunlight, over a period of time, such mango is turned into a ripe, sweet nectarine mango. And everyone wants to have the mango.
Similarly in the beginning the devotees is immature. But by the chanting of the holy name and the association of other devotees that immature devotee is turned into a blissful devotee that every one wants.
The holy name is the watering process, the sunlight is the association of devotees and the time factor is patience.
