As Krsna is anandamaya... We see Krsna is always engaged in pastimes, either with the cowherd boys or with the gopis or with His father, mother, or in the fight of battlefield, Kuruksetra, or in killing some demon. But His pastimes are always there. He's never inactive. He's never inactive. There it is said, visvatmann ajasya akartuh. He has nothing to do, but still He is acting. Akartuh. Akartuh means He has nothing to do. Here, so far we are concerned, we have to do something in the material world. We are destined. Sarira-yatrapi ca te na prasiddhyed akarmanah. Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita that "If you do not work, you cannot maintain even your body. You have to work." You see therefore all living entities... At night, millions and trillions of living entities, they come, fly and work. The work has no meaning. The work is death. Still, they are working. So what to speak of others? The birds, the sparrows, they are working, from here to there, here... And we are also working. So that is the nature of material existence.
