If you do not want to come out of the whirlpool of problems of the world there is no awareness of the situation. It also means that you still enjoy the ways of the world and continue to live the life as is. You will definitely protest if you get entangled in these problems and you do not like it. That kind of a soul cannot help but be aware in this situation. One who becomes aware, protests and denies these negative propensity of thoughts, wishes, desires, natural tendencies, feelings, likes and dislikes, habit of thinking only in certain ways and that also continuously and at the instant it arises, is a sadhak. This is the definite parameter of the soul that does sadhana.
