In the words of vivekananda
When the senses are unrestrained, when the body cannot obey you, when the passions are still ruling you, you cannot enjoy peace everlasting

If you crave for a thing you will not get it. You will become a slave. Renounce the craving or desire for the object. The objects will follow you by themselves

enjoyment of sensual objects and if the mind rests peacefully in Brahman(the real truth) you can reach the abode of immortal bliss
and float in the river of peace and happiness.
