His compassion is broad-based; it is for all. But his personal work is extremely narrow for it is only for the few who will receive it most readily. This implies that he works among the sympathetic and mature, not among the hostile and immature.

For a similar reason he prefers to enlighten the leaders, and let the flocks alone.
