Of numerous people oppressed by Cold, fire protects those alone who approach the fire. Similarly, God purifies the heart and relieves the suffering of all who engage themselves in the pursuit of His Bhajan.

Bhagavat Gita

समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः ।

ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम् ॥

 

English Translation - Swami Sivananda

 

Lord Krishna says

" I am the same in all beings, there is none hateful to Me or dear.

Those who worship by chanting the Divine Names with devotion, they are in Me and I am in them"

 

Translation of Sri Sankaracharya's Commentary

 

This clearly shows that God is never partial. Of numerous people oppressed by Cold, fire protects from cold and relieves the suffering of those alone who approach the fire. If anyone does not approach it at all, the fire is not to blame for it.

 

Similarly, God purifies the heart and relieves the suffering of all who engage themselves in the pursuit of His Bhajan (Chanting the Divine Name) and blesses them. Therefore no blame of partiality can attach to God.
