The participants assisting the lord may have to accept many hardships and pain externally
In this connection, we can give the example of Jay and Vijay. They are eternal parshads in Vaikuntha jagat and their downfall truly speaking was actually not their fault, rather it was the arrangement of Sri Krsna. Krsna always likes to play, and also Jivas are...
Why all jivas are not satisfied?
Because knowingly or unknowingly they all are running in search of Supreme happiness. But they have no idea about how to get it or where to get it. Due to strong Maya they are going to misidentify themselves as material body (together with material mind). So naturally...

Why Do We Not Like to Love Krsna?
We want to do what pleases us most. The liking for that activity is called ruci. Why do we not like to love Krsna? Why do we not like to serve Him? This is the point of our discussion today. We like that which gives us pleasure through our senses; but Krsna is such that He cannot be known by our senses. He is transcendental, and therefore He transcends our senses. Our senses cannot know Him nor can they reach Him. Through our senses, we cannot taste if He is sweet or not. Because our senses can taste worldly things we either become attracted to those things or we reject them. We never try to attain something that is not pleasing to our senses. We do not like Krsna because we cannot perceive Him with our senses.

The Bhakta in the Age of Discord
But certainly the worst criminal is a saint compared with the
person who talks about God and preaches religion though he does not know
himself what he is himself, what is God and the nature of the world, like
Christian missionaries in India.
Doctrines of Sri Chaitanya
But the biographies themselves are also unintelligible unless one hears their exposition from the lips of the pure devotees of Godhead. The Bhagabatam or its exposition can be understood by no other method. Sri Chaitanya does not replace but only fulfils the Shastras.
