When the Lord descends on this material world by His all-merciful energy, He plays like a human being, and therefore it appears that the Lord is partial to His devotees only, but that is not a fact. Despite such apparent manifestation of partiality, His mercy is equally distributed.
In the Battlefield of Kuruk?etra all persons who died in the fight in the presence of the Lord got salvation without the necessary qualifications because death before the presence of the Lord purifies the passing soul from the effects of all sins, and therefore the dying man gets a place somewhere in the transcendental abode. Somehow or other if someone exposes himself to the sun rays, he is sure to get the requisite benefit both by heat and by ultraviolet rays.
This is confirmed in Bhagavad Gita As It Is 9.29 where the Supreme Lord Krishna says "I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him.”
Therefore, the conclusion is that the Lord is never partial. It is wrong for the people in general to think of Him as partial.
Infact He looks at every living entity with equanimity and compassion.
