Why do vaishnavas have so many problems in their spiritual life?

Whenever i encounter some difficulty in this world, I recall these lines in my mind.

"The tests are there so Krishna can see whether his devotee have unconditional love and devotion to Him, even when there are problems.

Even though a devotee is put into a circumstance that should make his love diminish, his love increases more and more.
Bad health, financial problems, family members dying, accidents, criticism, etc. could result in a devotee blaming Krishna.

Instead the love of an advanced devotee increases. It is this unconditional love and devotion that purchases Krishna. He becomes obliged to such a devotee and places Himself under the control of that devotee"
