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 chan
