We have to undergo two kinds of opposing processes in performance of our sadhana. On one side our interaction with others should not be with carelessness, without interest or ignorance believing that all these (sansar, worldly actions) are false and unreal. We should accept every situation and circumstance with love, devotion and without any resentment or boredom, believing that it is given to train and test our bhavna for the real progress in our lives. If we perform our actions in this manner it is appropriate code of conduct. On the other side we need to keep our mind, intellect, prana etc, in the practice of tools persistently to stay in the bhavna of the sadhana. This is to prepare the stage to stabilize the grace of Bhagwan within us. In addition we should interact with harmony, goodness, love, compassion and goodwill in dealings with our contacts, keeping the bhavna (sincere belief, spirit) that all is for our own progress. Our attachment and hate will get less only if we accept the perceived injustice done to us by others with eagerness and consider it as a kind of penance. Know for sure that the force of duality in our prakruti will get less only if we act in this way with wisdom and love. We should interact with others for whom we have dislike or apathy with even more love in our hearts and make a special effort for that. It is possible to turn inwards for introspection with this kind of sadhana. There is no way without this introspection. Just as there is a process for sadhana, it is also equally important to interact with others in the manner discussed above.
