न दुह्यन्ति मनःप्रीतिं पुंसः कामहतस्य ते ॥१३॥
yat pá¹›thivyÄá¹ vrÄ«hi-yavaá¹
hiraṇyaṠpaśavaḥ striyaḥ
na duhyanti manaḥ-prÄ«tiá¹
puá¹saḥ kÄma-hatasya te
yat - what; pá¹›thivyÄm - within this world; vrÄ«hi - food grains, rice; yavam - barley; hiraṇyam - gold; paÅ›avaḥ - animals; striyaḥ - wives or other women; na duhyanti - do not give; manaḥ-prÄ«tim - satisfaction of the mind; puá¹saḥ - to a person; kÄma-hatasya - because of being victimized by lusty desires; te - they.
A person who is lusty cannot satisfy his mind even if he has enough of everything in this world, including rice, barley and other food grains, gold, animals and women. Nothing can satisfy him.
Improvement of one’s economic condition is the aim and object of a materialist, but there is no end to this material advancement, for if one cannot control his lusty desires, he will never be pleased, even if he gets all the material wealth of the world. In this age we see much material improvement, but still people are struggling to get more and more material opulence. Manaḥ á¹£aá¹£á¹hÄnÄ«ndriyÄṇi praká¹›ti-sthÄni kará¹£ati. Although every living entity is a part of the Supreme Being, because of lusty desires one continuously struggles for so-called betterment of one’s economic condition. To have a satisfied mind, one must give up his heart disease of lusty desires. This can be done only when one is Kṛṣṇa conscious.

(BhÄg. 10.33.39)
If one becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, then he can give up this heart disease; otherwise this disease of lusty desires will continue, and one cannot have peace in his mind.
