Baha'u'llah & the New Era 2006 by -J. Esslemont- 1 Para

The Baha'i will, however, on no account force his ideas on those who do not wish to hear them. He will attract people to the Kingdom of God, not try to drive them into it. He will be like the good shepherd who leads his flock, and charms the sheep by his music, rather than like the one who, from behind, urges them on with dog and stick (55:3)
