Prayers by the Demigods
153
stated in  Bhagavad-gītā  ( mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke jīva-bhūtaḥ ), the living entities do not arise from a combination of material elements, such as earth, water, air and fire, but are separated portions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If one can understand the position of the living entity as a separated portion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by studying the nature of the living entity one can understand the nature of the Supreme Godhead, since the living entity is a fragmental sample of the Godhead. But because atheists are not interested in God consciousness, they try to be happy by cultivating  Kṛṣṇa  consciousness in various unfavorable ways.
Although Kaṁsa was always absorbed in thoughts of Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he was not happy. A devotee, however, whether sitting on a throne or beneath a tree, is always happy. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī resigned from office as a government minister to sit beneath a tree, yet he was happy.  Tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍalapati-śreṇīṁ sadā tucchavat  ( Śaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka 4 ). He did not care for his comfortable position as minister; he was happy even beneath a tree in Vṛndāvana, favorably serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the difference between a devotee and a nondevotee. For a nondevotee, the world is full of problems, whereas for a devotee the entire world is full of happiness.
viśvaṁ pūrṇa-sukhāyate vidhi-mahendrādiś ca kīṭāyate yat-kāruṇya-kaṭākṣa-vaibhavavatāṁ taṁ gauram eva stumaḥ (Caitanya-candrāmṛta 95)
This comfortable position of a devotee can be established by the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.  Yasmin sthito na duḥkhena guruṇāpi vicālyate  (Bg. 6.22). Even when a devotee is superficially put into great difficulty, he is never disturbed.
