God loves, not the Bhaktha (devotee) but his Bhakthi, remember. The Lord's 
grace is like rain, pure water, falling equally everywhere; but its taste gets 
changed according to the soil through which it flows. So also the Lord's words 
are sweet to some, bitter to others.

God's ways are mysterious; He blessed Vidhura with the words, "Be destroyed" 
and Dhusshaasana with the words, "Live for a thousand years;" He meant that 
Vidhura's 'I' will be destroyed and that the wicked Dhusshaasana will have to 
suffer the ills and tribulations of this world for ten centuries. You do not 
know the real reasons behind the actions of the Lord. You cannot understand the 
motives of other men who are almost like you in everything, actuated by the 
same motives and having the same likes and dislikes!
