The believers ought to give the Message even to those who do
not seem to be ready for it, because they can never judge the real extent to
which the Word of God can influence the hearts and minds of the people, even
those who appear to lack any power of receptivity to the Teachings.

a letter dated 14 January 1938 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an
individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Guidelines for
Teaching)
