Dear prapannas Nirhetuka kripa does not mean the Lord is partial - his grace is constantly pouring down upon all beings like torrents of the monsoon - but as the rain fills only upturned vessels - in the same way the Lord "choses" to fill only those prapannas that are "empty" - the one factor that fills us up and prevents the descent of saving grace is PRIDE; hence Pillai Lokacharya said it is easier for a member of the depressed or marginalised communities to receive the grace of the lord than caste brahmins. The obstructing factor in caste brahmins being PRIDE - pride of caste, form, wealth and learning. Adiyen Sri Ram
