a) Someone who always endeavors to bring people closer to the service of G-d has to guard himself so that the husks won't take hold of him, nor the evil of those people he deals with. The way to achieve this is by the aspect of judgement, meaning that he has to see to it that he continually judge himself about everything he does whether it is worthy or not; he has to reprove and criticize himself about everything he does, whether it is proper or not. By this aspect of judgement the heart is enthused and this flame of enthusiasm burns the husks, preventing them from attaching themselves to him. Then it subdues them also from taking hold of those souls whom he brought close to the service of G-d.
b) This person who tries to make souls and bring them closer, he builds an aspect of a holy palace. Even though there are very many souls who have fallen from their holiness and who no longer exist, even so, from those who remain attached to fear of G-d through him, by this alone he will be referred to as holy. The Holy One is honoured very much by bringing these people, who were distant from holiness, into the service of G-d. This is the main honour of G-d, when those who were very far away now come close to Him.
c) By means of bringing souls closer to G-d and through secluded individualized prayers, conversing between himself and his Maker, while judging himself on everything he does, he merits to keep Shabbat which means nullifying the evil and the husks. About him the prophet says, "And I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a good name better than sons and daughters" (Isaiah,56:5). "Memorial" means that he will have the strength to create disciples and to draw within them the spirit of wisdom. "Name" means he will merit to a good name such that all the souls (he brought closer to G-d) will desire to become included within his soul and name, in the aspect of "the desire of our soul is to Your Name and to Your rememberance" (Isaiah,26:8). This is certainly better than sons and daughters, for sons and daughters are only a few, whereas he who merits to establish Torah scholars merits to have many souls included in his soul; it is as if he gave birth to them – they are many and receive life-force from him. (Editor's note: This is like Elkana said to Chana: "Aren't I better for you than ten sons" (Shmuel 1, 1:8). This is because Elkana brought merit to the public, as the Sages taught. And through their love they both became as one soul. And those souls that he brought close to G-d were also included in Chana's soul.)
d) The main way of guarding the name, which means protecting the soul, is by preventing himself from anger, for anger blemishes the soul. When he guards himself from anger even when he has an anger-provoking experience, he overcomes his evil urge, shows patience and conquers his anger, then he merits to great wealth. As a result his name and soul grow in importance and he merits to a good name and to have all the souls crave to be included in his soul. He also merits to bring many souls closer to G-d which is the main form of honouring Him.
e) Anger damages wealth. When the evil urge entices a person to be angry, he should know that at that moment Heaven is about to bestow upon him a sum of money but the evil urge wants to spoil the this flow of wealth. By spoiling the flow of wealth, because of anger, a person damages his name and soul, as explained. However, when he guards himself from anger, he will merit to wealth; his name and soul will be made great and he will establish many disciples, bringing many souls closer to the Holy One, as above.
f) Know, there are some wicked people whom it is forbidden to bring under the wings of the service of G-d, for they cause the people who try to bring them closer, to fall from their level. There isn't enough power in the judgement (mentioned above) to subdue their evil; this leads to great damage in several aspects, as explained. Therefore, the person who wants to bring souls closer to G-d, needs to pray a lot to
G-d to merit to know whom to reject and whom to bring close.
