"The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities who are seated as on a machine made of the material energy." (Bhagavad Gita 18.61)
Krishna, in the form of Paramatma, as a witness, is here. The souls are standing on their wheel of karma. Just as a clay pot maker is spinning a wheel with a stick and so many pots are being made, we are all sitting on the results of the bad or good activities we have done in the past. That has become our wheel of karma.
Krishna is doing nothing. He is only witnessing. Whatever we are suffering and tasting is our own fault. It is due to our good and bad activities. Krishna is not responsible for our sufferings.
If someone kills a person in America, is the president of America responsible for that murder or not? He has made rules and regulations against murder, and he has announced to everyone that they should not kill anyone. However, if someone does not obey, the police and the court are there to punish that person. In the same way, Krishna has announced in the Vedas, in scriptures, and through devotees, that you should not do certain activities. If you do so anyway, you will be pulled onto the wheel of karma and you will have to suffer for your actions. Krishna is not responsible because He has warned you. The souls have some independence to do what they like, but they are bound to enjoy the fruits of their activities.
Now you can take a look at the situation more clearly. Why was the father of the Supreme Lord Krishna suffering? We should try to understand why he was suffering. He is one of the associates of Krishna, and he has come with Him to this world to give many teachings. He was playing as an actor in Krishna's pastimes to establish dharma. Secondly, if someone is a devotee, he should have tolerance. If one is a devotee but has no tolerance, then he is not a pure devotee. One must be like Sri Haridasa Thakura, like Sri Prahlada Maharaja, and like Vasudeva Maharaja. They came as examples to show the whole world how to be tolerant.
