Why: Krishna is equal to all beings, he has no favorites and no one he dislikes, but those who worship him with devotion dwell in him, and he in them, describing a foundational impartiality alongside a real, mutual relationship available to whoever actually seeks it.
In life: genuine fairness toward everyone doesn't prevent someone from also having real, specific, mutual relationships with those who actually invest in connecting with them.
Teaching: hold both of these together in how you treat people, a baseline fairness extended to everyone, alongside deeper, mutual relationships you actively build with those who reciprocate the effort.
