Suffering is only for those poor souls who have not been enlightened
yet in the science of Krishna bhakti. Those who are awakened in this topmost science know how to experience everything with an attitude of gratitude: sickness and health, poverty and wealth, being rewarded or being punished, fame and infamy, glorification and chastisement, pain and pleasure, success and failure, youth and old age, etc, etc. In this way whatever they experience is seen as a special loving benediction from Lord Krishna to bring them back to Him as soon possible.
Such realized souls are never bewildered or unhappy in any situation because they are tasting Krishna's unlimited love at every nanosecond and are joyfully reciprocating Krishna's love by fully giving Krishna their love.
