Everyone at the end of the day wants peace.
This material world is described as “Dukhalayam asasvatam” in Bhagavad Gita.
This means this Material world is place full of miseries & it’s temporary.
Living entity is bound by miseries of birth,death, disease & old age as well as adhyatmik, adhibhautik & adhidaivik miseries.
Material life is also described as “Padam padam yada vipadam na tesam” in the sastra, meaning this material life has always difficulties at every step & if you are out of one difficulty there is always another difficulty ready for you to be faced.
In the midst of these miseries & difficulty how one can have peace ??
Once again Krishna comes to rescue us by giving peace formula in Bhagavad Gita 5.29:-
bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ
sarva-loka-maheśvaram
suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
jñātvā māṁ śāntim
The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries.
So if we want peace then we should understand that Krishna is ultimate proprietor of all the sacrifices & austerities & he is the supreme controller of the all planets as well as all the demigods & Krishna is our true friend & well wisher.
If we know this then we realize our eternal position as part & parcel of Krishna & eternal servant of Krishna then there is no question of being enjoyer or controller or sense gratification.
All we have to do is satisfy Krishna by our transcendental loving devotional service.
Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya Lila 19.149 mentions :-
kṛṣṇa-bhakta--niṣkāma, ataeva 'śānta'
bhukti-mukti-siddhi-kāmī-sakali 'aśānta'
Because a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa is desireless, he is peaceful. Fruitive workers desire material enjoyment, jñānīs desire liberation, and yogīs desire material opulence; therefore they are all lusty and cannot be peaceful.
So as devotees are desire less they are at peace.
But this does not mean that devotees don’t have desire but thay dovetail their desire to satisfy Krishna instead of satisfying one self.
So to be engaged in transcendental loving devotional service to Krishna is the way to peace.
