There are four types of people who do not turn to god and four types of people who turn to god. The first is the people are in distress. That was the condition of the demigods. Their prayers were not motivated by inquisitiveness or searching for the absolute truth. They were in distress. But because they turn to Krishna, Srila Prabhupada writes that sometimes they become pure devotees. He says they almost become pure devotees. And he also says that the four classes of neophyte devotees, who approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead to offer devotional service because of material modes are not pure devotees but the advantage of such materialistic devotees is that they sometimes give up their material desires and become pure. Krishna is giving them a chance. And therefore, the sufferings of material world are one of the greatest blessings of the material world. If there wasn’t serious miseries here, then the spirit soul who has forgotten Krishna would remain eternally forgetting Krishna. The miseries are wake up calls, Krishna comes into this material world again and again and again just to show us where real shelter is.
