TRANSLATION All of them--as

in all respects, O son of Prtha.
PURPORT Everyone is
searching for Krsna in the different aspects of His manifestations. Krsna,
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is partially realized in His impersonal
brahmajyoti
effulgence and as the all-pervading Supersoul dwelling within everything,
including the particles of atoms. But Krsna is only fully realized by His
pure devotees. Consequently, Krsna is the object of everyone's realization,
and thus anyone and everyone is satisfied according to one's desire to
have Him. In the transcendental world also, Krsna reciprocates with His
pure devotees in the transcendental attitude, just as the devotee wants
Him. One devotee may want Krsna as supreme master, another as his personal
friend, another as his son, and still another as his lover. Krsna rewards
all the devotees equally, according to their different intensities of love
for Him. In the material world, the same reciprocations of feelings are
there, and they are equally exchanged by the Lord with the different types
of worshipers. The pure devotees both here and in the transcendental abode
associate with Him in person and are able to render personal service to
the Lord and thus derive transcendental bliss in His loving service. As
for those who are impersonalists and who want to commit spiritual suicide
by annihilating the individual existence of the living entity, Krsna helps
also by absorbing them into His effulgence. Such impersonalists do not
agree to accept the eternal, blissful Personality of Godhead; consequently
they cannot relish the bliss of transcendental personal service to the
Lord, having extinguished their individuality. Some of them, who are not
situated even in the impersonal existence, return to this material field
to exhibit their dormant desires for activities. They are not admitted
into the spiritual planets, but they are again given a chance to act on
the material planets. For those who are fruitive workers, the Lord awards
the desired results of their prescribed duties, as the yajnesvara;
and those who are yogis seeking mystic powers are awarded such powers.
In other words, everyone is dependent for success upon His mercy alone,
and all kinds of spiritual processes are but different degrees of success
on the same path. Unless, therefore, one comes to the highest perfection
of Krsna consciousness, all attempts remain imperfect, as is stated in
the Srimad-Bhagavatam:
akamah sarva-kamo va moksa-kama udara-dhih
