Share the holy name with those who wish to hear it
Offer the glories of the name to those who are open to them. Do not press them on people who are not.
The offenses to avoid include instructing a person who has no faith in the subject, or no wish to hear, about the glories of the name. The teaching adds that such a person can still be given the chance to hear the chanting itself. Let your own life be the first invitation. When someone asks, tell them what you have found; when they do not, respect that and leave it there.
