The Lord, Gaurasundara, puts His devotees in various difficulties and associations to test their patience and strength of mind. Success depends upon their good fortune.

By the grace of the Lord, by the order of the Lord, by the Lord's, by the devotees' desire to please the Lord, all the good fortune will be there for all living entities. So even though they are not looking for it, the devotees will go out to them
