A lifestyle of service may not be the easiest lifestyle, but it is certainly the most rewarding.
I like to think of it this way: If I work hard all day for a noble purpose, then, though my body is tired, my mind is at ease. I can rest peacefully.
However, if I indulge myself in whatever may suit my whims, maybe lounging around my house most of the day, then my body may be comfortable, but my mind will be uneasy. And I probably won't be able to sleep well.
I think this daily cycle is a metaphor for life - people who work hard their whole life for a noble cause will find themselves resting peacefully in the afterlife, and those who don't will have trouble in their eternal rest.
