Hare Krishna!!! Krishna is supreme anandamaya person.. Anandamayo 'bhyasat: "The Absolute Truth is anandamayo by nature" He is full of bliss.Krishna's smile is continuous flow of that supreme bliss that crusehs countless other ras by its forceful flow. It is uncontrolled,involuntary.It is flowing out with exultation;it is full of nectarine prem. He is smiling everytime, even while killing demons. He is 'Bliss' personified.
Hare Krishna Mataji. Dandavat Pranam. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Krishna is para-Brahman and nature of him is "sat-chit-ananda" . sat- eternal, chit-consciousness, ananda-always joyful or blissful. So the smiling face of Krishna is exhibiting the ananda-blissful aspect of Brahman in his orginal position.
Krsna is smiling so that we can all have this discussion. He even continues to smile at us while we have this discussions. So many very nice comments. Some philosophical, others more in the mood of love and devotion. All are such wonderful comments.
This He does for various reasons like :
1st Reason : It is said that during the Mahabharata War the opponent side kauravas would get bewildered when they used to see Krishna's smiling face and used to forget to target there weapons at Arjuna. This helped Arjuna a lot.
(Ref : Mahabharata)
2nd Reason : Krishna especially wants to give pleasure to Gopis of Vrndavana. Hence His smile not only enchants them but it gives tremendous transcendental pleasure to Gopis.(Ref : Teachings of Lord Caitanya)
Correction in the question :
1) It is not that Krishna is "always" smiling. Sometimes he "cries" also( as in the case of Damodar Lila where He became fearful of Mother Yashoda and tears became to flow from His eyes. (Ref : Damodarastakam Verse-1 )
2) Secondly Krsna can do both the things simultaneously that are "apparently" opposite ( Smiling & Crying ). That is definition of God.
