Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Overcoming Adversity, p. 165

Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita, su-sukham kartum avyayam: this process is everlasting and joyfully performed. We can therefore experience happiness in the midst of suffering. When devotees see their suffering in connection with Krishna, they are joyful because they understand that their suffering helps them come closer to Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada
