समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः ।
ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम्। ।।9.29।।
It may be asked here that when Krishna is equal to all and has no special friend, then why does He take special interest in those devotees who are always engaged in His transcendental service? But this is not discrimination, it is simple. A person may be very benevolent in this world, but still he takes special interest in his children. The Lord says that every living being, regardless of the species of life he is in, therefore He supplies everyone with the essentials of life. He is like a cloud that rains water on everyone, whether it rains on rock or on land, or in water. But God takes special care of his devotees. Such devotees are mentioned here they are always in Krishna consciousness, they are constantly absorbed in Krishna. The very word Krishna consciousness suggests that those who remain in such consciousness are living spiritualists and are situated in Him. The Lord clearly says here- Mayi Te means He is in Me. God is also in them. This also explains Yeyatha maa prapadyante tanstathaiva bhajamyham - whoever takes refuge in me, I take care of him in the same way. This transcendental reciprocity exists because both the devotee and the Lord are conscious. When a diamond is set in a gold ring. it looks very beautiful. This increases the glory of gold, but at the same time the glory of diamond also increases. The Lord and the living entity constantly shine, and when a living. entity is engaged in the service of the Lord, he looks like gold. God is like a diamond, so this combination is excellent. In a pure state, living beings are called devotees. The Supreme Lord also becomes the devotee of His devotees. If there is no sense of reciprocity between God and the devotee, then there will be no personal philosophy. Mayavadi philosophy does not find such a sense of exchange between the Supreme Lord and the soul, but it does happen in Sagunavadi philosophy.
