We are constantly adding fuel to the fire of material desires which are insatiable and merciless. The mercy of Kardama Muni. Frustration of Devahūti.
The 3 modes of material influence. Sattva-guṇa is also a bondage and ultimately we will have to get free from it and pass to the platform of śuddha-sattva.

Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda told that there must be a final settlement regarding what we want and what we don’t want—otherwise we cannot even start Hari-bhajana. If we continue to add fuel, how can we ever expect the fire of material desires to be extinguished? Raja-guṇa can inspire us to achieve material things, therefore, “we jump like a restless monkey,” from one desire to another—never satisfied. We think that to cut this Māyā is a big deal, our primary occupation, but it is just a preliminary thing—a prerequisite. As illustrated by Devahūti Ma, our thirst is never quenched. The nature of the mood of enjoyment is insatiable and continuous, yet “there is no question of satisfaction in our life via material enjoyment.” 
Only by Guru-kṛpā is it possible to stop this cycle, but how can we serve Śrī Guru with a material conception? By continuing to hear hari-kathā, we can get all facility for Guru-darśana to gradually develop and mature. Śrīla Prabhupada told that if one is enjoying guru-kṛpā, be sure: that is most certainly Bhāgavata-kṛpā, because Bhāgavata-kṛpā comes via devotees.
By Kṛṣṇa’s desire, Uddhava will remain in this material world as His own representative, His dearmost sevāka. A pure sadhu’s presence on the planet is more than sufficient as a topmost means of preaching. Meanwhile, we have an incomplete conception of ‘sevāka’, of submission, and we cannot perceive anything about sevā by external considerations. Realization comes by way of Guru-sevā—and the perfect example of this we see throughout our Guru-varga like Śrīla Bhakti Rakṣaka Śrīdhara Deva Gosvāmī Mahārāja, etc. 
As in many cases including Kṛṣṇa’s decision to withdraw His transcendental līlā, these inconceivable activities are only possible by Yogamāyā—and if Bhagavān can arrange these situations, then surely, He can also arrange the solution.
