For Kaliya what was th e source of ahppiness for everyone was a source of distress for him because he had envy
A devotee is free from envy.
To the degree we envy that is a sign of how fallen we really are- unfortunately the nature of envy is that it convinces is that we have rights above others. We cannot tolerate another person excelling beyond us, whoever they are- A devotee is the opposite - greatest joy is to see other people excelling, to see others being empowered, blessed. when we find joy in seeing the success of others , Krishna finds joy in seeing us. When we are pained in seeing the success of others , Krishna is pained in seeing us. We cannot make spiritual progress by paining Krsna. even if we can accomplish great things by material perceptions... atha pumbhir... whatever our occupation , our social standard- all of our advancement in bhakti comes by pleasing Krishna- we please Krishna when we are motivated to give pleasure to Krishna. Krishna is the SPG of Godhead and being His parts and parcels we have the same essential spiritual qualities as Krsna in minute proportions. When people please us, we are happy. Why? Because when people Krsna He is happy. When people pain us we are unhappy and similarly when people pain Krsna He is not happy with us, He is atmarama - He is completely ecstatic in His own right in the spiritual world.. but within this realm of this creation the paramatma Krsna 's manifestation within our hearts and around us, we cause pain to otehr people , Krsna is pained. This is the nature of envy.
Kaliya was so envious- He loved to cause pain to others. What was the degree He pained Krsna he killed all of Krsn'as cowherd boyfriends who were more dear to Krsna than His won eternal life and soul and he killed his cows and he was happy to do so. so Krsna understood I must take action and He did. As He was dancing on Kaliya's head everyone was happy but Kaliya was suffering. Everyone else was happy seeing Krsna happy dancing along with Siva;s drums, gandharvas drums and heavenly instruments. Most of us have not heard the heavenly concerts . Krsna was so blissfully dancing as kaliya's 1000's of hoods were trying to eat him- he was not old but young- constantly attacking Krsna. Krsna did not even bother looking at Kaliya. When Krsna wants to humble somebody He makes you look insignificant. Kaliya could not touch Him and Krsna didnt mis a single step- so graceful and sometimes just to give extra pleasure to His devotees and and extra pain to Kaliya He wouls start playing His flute - so many things at one time. Why was Krsna giving so much merciful pain to this snake. Because of the wives of Kaliya who had innocent simple hearts were praying for Him. What was the qualification of Hiranyakasipu to get liberation- ofcourse Narsimha deva was not dancing. Narsimha deva was with nails, so much anger- even Laxmi Devi could not approach him, But how Krishna did with Kaliya was so sweet and graceful and everyone could approach Him. Ultimately by the prayers of his wives and his own becoming humble
