The craving we have to make our body and mind happy results in our actions being a slave to more grasping and unhappiness in this life. This craving leads to clinging which leads to more becoming and rebirth. 
Only when you understand that the five aggregates namely the form, perception, consciousness, feelings and mental formations are impermanent and that attachment to them leads to more suffering then you can let go and renunciation and liberate.
