Krishna or God is equal to everyone. He declares this openly in the Bhagavad-gita where He also declares that He is the best friend of all living beings. Therefore we can understand that He is equally giving everyone the opportunity for happiness. After all, since He is our loving father, it is only natural that He wants each and every one of us is happy.
So if God is equal to everyone, why are some people nicely, happily situated while others are in destitute, hellish conditions? This is due to our choice. We can choose to be obedient, law-abiding citizens of God's kingdom, or we can strike out on our own staking a claim to our own independent kingdom here in this material world. Just as the government will facilitate the advancement of both the students in the state university and the criminals in the state penitentiary, the Lord equally facilitates the progress of every living being in all of His creation.
So which way would you prefer to be facilitated? In samsara, the wheel of birth and death, or in the ultimate nirvana, Goloka Vrindavana, the Lord's unlimitedly wonderful transcendental abode? It's your choice. So make up your mind and do the needful.
