One time Ramanujacharya was begging to the Lord you are the sarnagat vatsal, please accept me.
The Lord said, alright I accept you.
Then Ramanujacharya said, can you also please accept all the living beings.
Earlier the Lord had immediately replied, but later he thoughtfully spoke thus –
whoever Oh Ramanujacharya will be grateful for all the work you have done to establish religion, if they will understand your work and admire it, to such people I will accept. Not directly.
