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


If you have no attachment for the objects of the senses, if you have no thoughts which give rise to desires and impulses for the 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.
