In plain words
God does not look on us in happiness as lovingly as He looks on us in these hardships; but there are chances for Him to look on us in happiness too. So for God's gaze there is no such thing as hardship or happiness. That Kucela went; he reached that palace of Kṛṣṇa. He never even asked for what he had to ask. ‘There is no need to ask Mādhava, who knows the heart.’ After giving him a full meal and letting him rest, He said, ‘Kucela, now go home,’ and sent him off with a palanquin of a kind. When he had gone some distance: ‘Alas! What a fool am I! My children are suffering without food of any kind, and I, for my part, have eaten all the feast of five kinds of delicacies and the sweet rice. Why, I could not ask Kṛṣṇa for help!’ he thought, and grieved, poor man. But by the time he reached home, a grand mansion had come up. His wife had put on every adornment, all her jewels. She came like a great queen; a doubt came to him. He looked and wondered, ‘Who is this? Lakṣmī, or else my wife?’ She came up to him: My lord! What did Kṛṣṇa say? Nothing came to his mind. My wife!
The moment He knew I had come, He sent word through the gatekeepers to bring me quickly; the moment He saw me, He rose at once from His seat and drew me close with a smiling face; He looked me up and down as one pining with longing and held me tight in His embrace; Devī! What can I say of His tenderness for the lowly? Prema itself is He; He Himself is Prema! Eating poor Kucela's flattened rice, eating a fistful, and granting a wealth of fortune: is there any other who does so!
Who would give so? Eating up these few fistfuls of useless flattened rice, He gave such fortune. ‘God! Ah! How little I could recognise the power of such a God. What a fool I am!’ So reproaching himself, and looking over the whole house: ‘Kṛṣṇa! All this is Your gift alone,’ he thought. That is why one who loves God with all his heart will lack nothing.
