COMMENTARY

It has been proved above, that in the supreme Lord, whose essential nature is inconceivable, there exist all attributes and qualities, whether harmonious in themselves or self-contradictory. It follows that along with His perfect justice and equality, He has this attribute of showing favour and «partiality» to His devotees. The wise, therefore, do not find any greater difficulty in reconciling the existence of these two heterogeneous attributes in Him, than in any other similar pair of attributes which are opposite to each other, and which still exist in him. For example, He is essentially all-knowledge, and yet possessing knowledge; He is essentially formless and colorless, and yet possessing the most ravishing form that enchants the heart of His devotees; similarly, though He is perfectly just and equal to all, yet he does show favour and special grace to His devotees. Not only the pair of opposites exist in him, but all harmonious attributes also are to be found in him; such as He is forgiving, kind, compassionate and merciful to all. The Smriti also says to the same effect (Kurma Purana):

The Lord is described as possessing self-contradictory and opposite attributes, because He has supreme power. Though He has these attributes, yet no evil or falsehood should ever be attributed to Him. On the contrary, all these conflicting attributes should be reconciled with each other so far as possible.

Thus it has been proved that the Lord, though equal to all, is yet the friend of His devotees.
