Make Everyone Happy
Srila Prabhupada describes our mission:
"That is our mission we want to see everyone happy. Sarve sukhino bhavantu. People do not know how to become happy. They do not take the standard path to become happy. They manufacture their own way. That is the difficulty. Therefore, Risabhadeva gave this advice to his sons: 'My dear boys, just undergo austerity for transcendental realization.' Everyone is performing austerity. This boy I know -- he had to go to a foreign country to learn commercial management. Now he is well situated. In this way. everyone must undergo some austerity for future life. So why not take that austerity for permanent happiness? You have to purify your existence and your body. As many times as you accept a material body, you will have to change it. But as soon as you get a spiritual body, there is no question of change. You already have a spiritual body. Now, due to our material contamination, we are developing the material body. But if we associate with spiritual life, then we shall develop a spiritual body. The same example I have several times given is that if you put an iron rod within fire, it will become like fire. Is it not?"

Just see how merciful and intelligent is Krishna's pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada.
In one of your questions and answers seminars you said that Krishna consciousness is so full of pleasure that Krishna himself is also in Krishna consciousness.. Prabhupada many times described Krishna as Supreme enjoyer. If Krishna is Supreme enjoyer that means he should be in the most pleasure, so how is it that Krishna being himself is not in as much pleasure as a devotee in Krishna consciousness?
Hare Krishna.

My Dear Richard,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Krishna is in fact the Supreme Enjoyer. He enjoys unlimitedly at every moment. But to expand His enjoyment even more He adopts the mood of being His own devotee by manifesting Himself as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,
