Purport
The Supreme Lord Personality of Godhead is neither impersonal nor an inert object unable to receiprocate the feelings of His Devotees. Here the word Yathabidhi or 'just as it behoves' is significant. He reciprocates 'just as it behoves' with His different types of admirers and devotees. Of course, the pure devotees are of one type only because they have no other object for service exeept the Lord and therefore the Lord also reciprocates with such pure devotees just as it behoves namely He is always attentive on all matters of His pure devotees. There are others also who designate Him as impersonal and then the Lord also does not take any personal interest. He satisfies every one in terms of one's development of spiritual consciousness and a sample of such reciprocation is exhibited here with His defferent welcomers.
