Only samsAris (bound souls in this material realm) have differences in desires and dishonesty. For nithyasUris, since the goal is only to serve <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>, there is no difference in desires and no dishonesty. Why then is there a need to specifically say that <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/12\/thathva-thrayam-iswara-who-is-god\/\">bhagavAn<\/a> deals with them honestly\/sincerely?
