Did you notice the loving words of Krishna? The shower of His grace? How true are His words! Really, people do not understand the faults in themselves; they seek faults in others. If the Lord has faults, how can the world exist or survive? The Lord sees all as equal; His heart embraces all in love; that is the reason why the world has at least this much of peace and prosperity. The doctor may declare that the patient has no fever just to console the sick man; but the thermometer cannot lie. God knows and reacts to the inner feeling, not to the outer appearance; He can never go wrong, nor can He be deceived. The world considers only the outward appearance; it is guided by that alone. Wade in the river; then only can you know the depth of the water. Eat, if you must know the taste. When people pronounce judgements on the depth or the taste, without wading or tasting, how can their declarations be taken as true? If the Lord Himself was affected by partiality, how could He award the bliss of Sayujya to the cowherd maids of Brindavan? Would He have partaken of fruits partly eaten by Sabari? Could Janaka have become a Brahmajnani? Could Nandanar have achieved the grand vision of the Lord? Could Prahlada and Vibhishana have approached the Lord? Would Hanuman have been accepted as the messenger of Rama? Could Valmiki have written the great epic, Ramayana? Do these indicate any partiality in the composition of the Lord? Or do they prove that He has no such trait? These are examples of the Lord's Prema. His uniform kindness to all.

"Manmanaa bhava madbhaktho, mad yaajee, maam namaskuru," this command of the Lord means just this; Keep your mind steadily on Me, be devoted sincerely to Me, prostrate before Me offering all your thoughts, words and deeds to Me, love Me steadfastly - He has commanded. He has thus indicated that what He most desires in you are a 'pure mind' and 'untarnished love.'

Immersed in Manavathwa (humanness), you cannot attain Madhavathwa (Madhava-ness). You have to attain Madhavathathwa to get Madhava-hood. To see darkness, you must have darkness only; to see light, you should have light. To understand intelligence you have to be intelligent. If you are constantly active about human things, how can you realise the glory of divinity? To become divine, you have to dwell in the memory of the divine, act divinely, behave divinely. The taste, the environment and the feeling - all must be coordinated for that one purpose. Then only can the principle be grasped.

It is on the basis of this truth that Krishna continued thus: "Arjuna! Jnanis are superior even to the Gods who are in their turn superior to men; but these Jnanis too are unable to grasp the full import of God. How then can ordinary men like you ever understand it?" At this sly dig, Arjuna bent his head in shame. He said, "Yes, I agree, Krishna, you are beyond the grasp of any one, however intelligent he may be. You are of endless manifoldness, I am convinced. You are the universal absolute, I know."
