How Can We Prevent a Friend from Being in Real Danger?

It is advisable to gather the friends who are more or less connected to the matter and agree among yourselves that every half hour you check where each of the friends is. If someone has difficulty and runs away, he should immediately be brought back into the process. Two or three friends with a special ability should speak with the friend who is not in such a good state, awaken him, return him to the group, and support him.

The group is obligated to care for each and every detail within it. Therefore, it is desirable to divide a large group into subgroups of ten people, because in a large group it is difficult to notice who is present and who is not. A small group sits around one table, and then it is possible to see who is there. There must be such an agreement, a written and serious one, so that a person feels that it is binding upon him. This influences a person psychologically.
