Summary of Song 8: In this world, there are potential people that will understand God’s teaching, and will be saved. God will not force people to come.. God tells us it will not be done by ourselves; we need God’s help to guide them to our places or worship. We must purify our minds first by not acting on what sufferings or inconveniences the soul brings forth. When we purify our minds, God will accept our prayers and bring new members to our places of worship.
