Lord Krishna doesn't let his devotees to suffer it's a test for them, A test to see their determination, their love for him, the strength of their righteous heart and to show the world what great person his devotees are, we can't say how much suffering did Meerabai go through due to her bakti towards krishna yet she tolerated everything and loved Krishna even more and became one with him
It's not like he wants to put us in suffering but it's a way to find how strong are we in the path we have chosen these suffering show us the hidden darkness that lies deep within our hearts and this suffering is the only way to bring that darkness out and cleanse our soul one who stand determined in his path of bhakti become one with krishna
Prahlada
Prahlada, the son of Hiranyakashipu was a great devotee of narayana .His father tried various ways to stop him from saying the name of Narayana and did many attempt to kill his own child but prahlada stood strongly in his Hari bhakti and was saved by Sri Hari and in the end when Hiranyakashipu asked “Is your narayana residing in this pillar ?” Prahlada without any hesitation said that narayan resides in everything and everywhere. Anyone of us can imagine ourselves in such situations and still chant the name of hari narayana in front of a terrifying asura
Dhruva
A young boy hardly 10 years old whose step mom didn't allow him to sit on his father's lap went crying to his mother ,his mother pacified him saying if you pray to lord sri Hari you can sit on your father's lap. The young boy took it serious and left the palace to do tapas on Sri Hari and Narada muni met him on the way and warned him about the forest and the animals but he was astonished to see the determination and courage of the little boy and taught him narayana mantra. He did years of tapas that even shook the world of devas and atlast Sri Hari appeared in front of him with lakshmi devi and Garuda and made him sit on his own lap. The boy who was not able to sit on his father's lap is now sitting on the lap of the father of everything, the one who created everything ,the one who resides in everything and atlast he turned in the dhruva star ( pole star and shine brightly even today)
Krishna want to show the greatness of his devotees and make their heart free from all evil this is the reason behind the sufferings given by krishna
Jai Sri Krishna
