Elaborate commentary on this aspect can be seen in bhagavadh gEthA 18-15.

  Dear TCAV swamin/Smt. Sumithra

  Adiyen is going to attempt an explanation on  the term "prathama prayatnam"
  quoted by Smt. Sumithra in a literal lay man's terms without touching any of
  our Vaishnava pari bashais.


  It can be compared to the behaviour of an  #Ideal Class teacher#  (A Male -
  analogy to our emperuman)towards his class students.

  When teaching to his students he does not have any bias of one student
  should be taught better and the other student should be deprived of the
  same. He unilaterally does his best to pass on the knowledge to his students
  without any bias.

  But what is the result ? Not every student gets first or scores a
  distinction. There will be many failures. Why? Is it the mistake of the
  Teacher? No it depends on how far a student has concentrated and grasped the
  subject from the teacher. He should have shown faith on the teacher and
  learned his lessons. 
  This is what done by our emperuman in parting the rules to the jeevatmas in
  terms of the sastras and other scriptures and teachings of various acharyas.

  But while an exam is going on, a teacher cannot go and help a student to get
  through or get distinction in his exams. He has to silently watch.

  This is what exactly done by emperuman. Whoever has the supreme faith in
  him, learns his lessons and gets the special credit from him.

  Even in the case of a class, a Teacher will have a set of students who will
  be in his heart. This is entirely due to the behaviour of the students
  towards him. Similar is the case with emperuman also.

  Hope this clarifies partly the understanding. Again all mistakes are due to
  adiyen's weak understanding of the subtle concepts. so adiyen requests
  bhagavatas to correct adiyen appropriately whereever wrong.


  Adiyen Varadaraja dasan.
