It is that area in which we. . eem to be remiss. unfortunately. . . . We also must participate in all efforts to help them and to have a new sense of belonging. developed with a full loving attempt. What I have to say is simply that our welcome to them should not be formal expression; when you see a newcomer your heart should be filled with genuine love for him. . . . I want you to prepare in advance and welcome them with al I your hearts with open arms. Replace what they have lost with a better love and assim il ate them into the Ahmadiyya Society in a ma nner that they should for- ge t a ll the feelings of void, suffering and loss wh ich natural ly comes after one changes a society for any sake. B ut when it is done for the sake of God then. those who belong to God, it is their prime responsibility to pl ay th eir hosts. . .
