We expierence both good and bad things in life. And so sometimes we feel very happy and sometimes very miserable Whatever we expierence is nothing but reactions of our past deeds. Good deeds bring good reactions and bad deeds bring bad reactions.
In spite of knowing this philosophy, we tend to get lost or absorbed in either enjoying or suffering these reactions. This is just because we are so very conditioned to this action-reaction interaction.
But if try to go beyond this and see things closely, we will reliaze that these reactions are nothing but Lords lessons to teach us something or the other. Every reaction or expierence we have in life either good or bad will teach us some spiritual lesson. Because devotees surrender to Lord, He Himself takes the charge to teach His devotees. After all He is the Supreme Spiritual Master.
But to understand what He wants us to learn we must first learn to tolerate that reaction and have faith that nothings wrong. Then and then only, we will be saved from getting absorbed in the reaction and will be in a state to understand the lession behind the situation.
I understand it is very difficult to tolerate pain and specially when it comes with greater material price to pay. But we must try and not losse faith and understand what He wants us to learn. Whatever be the intensity of the reaction, if we dont losse our faith, surely we will learn our lesson which will take us to the next step of spiritual ladder.
How insightful
It's a very wise thing , I think, to learn to tolerate and not react. Then, as you say you say, you have the opportunity of seeing your situation through the eyes of Krishna conscousness.
It is as if the whole world is caught in the reaction with no chance of any insight.
That's really interesting, I like it.

Tolerance
Hare Krishna!
Its very painful to tolerate. But when we sincerely try to do it, Krishna being all merciful, gives us strength.
We become even more tolerant after very trial.
