Why am I having no peace of mind even though I don't lack anything?

[Shri Bharat Krishna asked: The following question is from Shri. D. Subhas Chandra Bose.

Shri. D. Subhas Chandra Bose: I have everything in my life. Although I don't lack anything and live a sophisticated life, why am I still feeling restless and have no peace of mind? Kindly answer his question Swami.]

Swami Replied: Since you are very much attached to  materialism, naturally, lack of peace is the fruit of worldly life. If you  sit in a fire and ask why your skin is burnt, the answer is very clear even to a child. I don’t mean that you should leave this worldly life. You must live in the world with full worldly activity, but, without attachment to the world like a lotus flower living in a pond is not affected by water (Padmapatramivāmbhasā). This means, in the external attachment to the world, you must have internal detachment from it. You can be detached from ‘X’ provided you are attached to ‘Y’. Even if you are in X (world), the strong attachment to Y (God) will not allow the X to enter you. X is worldly life and Y is spiritual life. Due to strong devotion to God, you are spontaneously detached from the world, even though, you live in the world with worldly activity.
