"How to Avoid Pain"?
1) When one comes under the umbrella of Krishna Consciousness, there will not be any pain at all
2) Even though, there is a pain, devotees take it as it a great pleasure and gift of Krishna, for Krishna giving us an opportunity to be more closer to HIM, thinking of HIM, praying HIM, at all times and under all circumstances.
3) our mood should always be of queen Kunti that we should always invite and accept problems and sufferings because only and only when one has pains / problems, sufferings, one will be in constant touch with Krishna.
4) when Meerabai was affected with unbearable skin disease, with all boils on her body, her followers / friends could not see her suffering and questioned Meerabai "you are such a very great devotee of Krishna, when u drank poison, nothing has affected you, so why don't you ask Krishna to relieve you from the pain / suffering"?
Then Meerabai replied, when Krishna has gifted me this suffering with lots of love, how can I ask Krishna to take back the sufferings given to me with lots of love?
If our attitude is like above, we never, never feel problem as problem, sufferring as suffering, pain as pain, rather we enjoy spiritual bliss in each and every moment of our sufferings/pains/problems, being intimately in touch with Krishna and godess Radharani.
Ultimately, whatever sufferings, problems, pains we are undergoing is to clear the carry-forward sins to next births, so that we shall reach the Supreme Personality of Godhead after this birth.
Hare Krishna
