Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10, Chapter 38, Text 12

SB 10.38.12

yasyakhilamiva-habhih su-mangalaih
 vaco vimisra guna-karma-janmabhih
prananti sumbhanti punanti vai jagat
 yas tad-viraktah sava-sobhana matah
 
Translation: 
 
All sins are destroyed and all good fortune is created by the Supreme Lord’s qualities, activities and appearances, and words that describe these three things animate, beautify and purify the world. On the other hand, words bereft of His glories are like the decorations on a corpse.
 
Purport: 
 
Srila Sridhara Svami brings up the following possible objection: How can one who is devoid of ordinary ego, who is fully self-satisfied, engage in pastimes? The answer is given here. Lord Krsna acts on the pure, spiritual platform for the pleasure of His loving devotees, not for any kind of mundane gratification.
