There is a difference between counselor groups and nama-hattas. Certainly new people are not ready to immediately comply with strict standards and restrictions. By forcing it upon them, it might even turn them away. Therefore, there has to be something that is a little less rigid for the newcomers. However, when they start becoming more serious, they should know that there is something that is stricter that they should follow. They should be encouraged to move in that direction. It does not mean that we put all the devotees who are bad examples to preach to the new people. Those who preach to newcomers should be a good example, but they are less strict with them.
