Distress - an essential subject

When we get something desirable we are very happy, and when we get something undesirable we are distressed. But, when we come to the spiritual level, these so called worldly distresses seem trivial and stop agitating us. The real cause of the living entity's distress is forgetfulness of his relationship with God and the cause of happiness is knowing Krishna to be the supreme enjoyer of all the activities of the human being, the proprietor of all lands and planets, and the sincerest friend of all living entities. When we meditate on the Lord and serve him as His devotees, He removes all our distresses and satisfies their desires.
