There is real satisfaction, pleasure, bliss or ananda. Most people see their work simply as drudgery. It's something to get away from and the less they do, the better. If they can get a job where they can do less and get more in return, then that's what they consider the best job. There's no happiness in work in this society.
People only see happiness in leisure.
And yet when people retire, they don't know what to do with themselves. If you give a person a vacation that is longer than a two-day weekend, they won't know what to do. The mistake most people make is that they think to serve God is misery. We have to change our entire outlook towards life so that our work becomes our life. If we live, we're working.
