Suffering
Dec 30
Sometimes Krsna may put us into some difficulty just to purify us and force us to advance in Krsna consciousness. The devotee should always see his difficulty in this light, that Krsna is so kind upon me for creating this condition of struggling, thus He is relieving me of so many billions of lifetime of sinful reactions by this very insignificant and temporary condition of suffering something.

Don’t blame Lord Krsna, for your suffering.
Just read Bhagavata gita as it is!
Chapter four, Lord Krsna doesn’t create a situation, it is the stupid jiva, who thinks he is the Lord of the material nature!

Srila Prabhupada doesn’t blame Krsna for our suffering. Srila Prabhupada points out that by the Lords sweet will He will create certain situations for us to learn and advance in. The above quote is meant for devotees whom Krishna is favorable to.
Just like the jiva is tested before he may transgress all of the layers while on his way to the spiritual world.
Also the jiva is not stupid, his pure state is sac cid ananda.
