A man may be thinking of how he can provide for his family, or a government leader may be thinking of how he can provide for his people, or a philanthropist may be thinking of how he can provide for the needs of human society. Thinking in this way, he is always trying to adopt measures to mitigate the distress of the sufferings of others. However, Krishna so perfectly designed the material world that there can't be mitigation of distress, there can't be release from the material nature until one gives happiness to Him first and foremost.
