Vedas were actually compiled to attract mayavadi to seek personal benifits and materialistic enjoyment, Now why do we need enjoyment?

Simple , to entertain our mind in materialistic pleasure. Now since most of the people 's mind are stronger than intelligence, if being directly discussed about lord , then the mind resists and vyasdeva was intelligent enough to understand the deep coating of Vedas . Thus he elaborates it.

Now taking reference from respected Anndal Narayanan where lord buddha actually directed the knowledge that we suffer mainly because we cannot differentiate what is temporary and what is permanent and if we glace back at history we saw that lord buddha opposed vedas because people were so involved in materialistic enjoyment that they actually started to making blunders and hence complicating their spiritual life.

The main purpose of Vedas was to uplift people from lousy ways of temporary enjoyment rather focus on attaining eternal relationship with lord and thus understanding the greater truth.

That is why we suffer in this material life because our intelligence has being corrupted through our constant effort of beggeting pleasure. And lord constantly gives us misery in order to actually realise him through devotional service, so that we don't waste our precious human life.

Hare Krishna...

Prosperity is material and therefore comes to an end. As the Lord taught us in His Buddha incarnation, we suffer because we hanker after that which is temporary. Thinking in terms of 'desirable' and 'undesirable' is duality, and only God is beyond duality. Lasting bliss is only found aligning with His will. What is nonsensical is to acknowledge that God exists yet find a way to dismiss our duty to serve Him.
