Banach algebra: norm distance of non-invertible elements to unit element

Question

Let $\mathcal A$ be a commutative, unital Banach algebra. Take $A \in \mathcal A$ such that $A$ is non-scalar, i.e. $A\neq \alpha \mathbb I $, where $\mathbb I$ is the unit element. Denote the spectrum of $A$ as $\sigma(A)$ and take $\lambda \in \sigma(A)$.

Why is is the following true?

$$\vert \vert (A-\lambda \mathbb I)B - \mathbb I \vert \vert \geq 1, \forall B \in \mathcal A$$

Answer 1

Otherwise, using power series, $(A-\lambda I)B$ would be invertible for some $B\in\mathcal A$, hence by commutativity, so would be $A-\lambda I$.
