a) we are seeing the material world for what it is i.e. it is just boring, once we see around the hype.
b) it is the nature of performing activities in the the mode of goodness i.e. bitter at first, sweet later.
In addition, we should also consider that:
1) if we enjoy things without Krsna now, then know that we will be equally miserable tomorrow.
2) only when we do things in regulated fashion can we see things as they are i.e. reality check, else we continue to buy into the illusion and it seems very exciting.
