If there is little pain in the finger, I become so much disturbed because I have got intimate connection with this finger.  Similarly, we have got intimate connection with Krishna, and we are fallen.  Therefore, Krishna also feels little pain, and therefore, He comes down.  Krishna is feeling pain.  So you become Krishna conscious.  Then Krishna will feel pleasure.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
In his conversations, Vrindavan, 24thApril, 1975.

A bona fide devotee of Lord Krishna is always pained to see the fallen condition of the whole world.  Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakura used to say, “There is no scarcity of anything within this world, the only scarcity is of Krishna Consciousness.”  That is the vision of all the pure devotees.  Because of this lack of Krishna Consciousness in human society, people are suffering terribly, being merged in an ocean of nescience and sense gratification.  A devotee onlooker is very much aggrieved to see such a situation in the world.

Sri Chaitanya Charithaamrutha, Aadi Leela,
Chapter – 13, Text – 67.
