Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The worshipable Lord Kṛṣṇa is the shelter of twelve rasas, or transcendental mellows. Those who are unable to see everything in relation to Kṛṣṇa are “attached.” They have no realization that the most

magnanimous Kṛṣṇa is the embodiment of all rasas. Having received the mercy of Śrīman Mahāprabhu, Śrī Jagāi and Mādhāi began to see all material objects in relationship with Kṛṣṇa. Now they do not find the material world unfavorable. People consider material objects as the source of enjoyment due to their inability to see everything in relationship with Kṛṣṇa. The state of being devoid of rasa is nothing other than the consideration of impersonal Brahman. On the awakening of the mellows of Kṛṣṇa consciousness all material activities become surcharged with God consciousness. Then, rather than considering material objects the source of enjoyment, one considers them worshipable, for they are meant for satisfying the senses of Kṛṣṇa. As a result, the mood of enjoyment no longer remains. If the mood of enjoyment does not remain, then the propensity of envying others does not arise.

Harmony is inevitable when everything is considered enjoyable to Kṛṣṇa.
