Sadhak should not renounce all the worldly activities and at the same time should not invite unnecessary works. We need to be involved only to the extent that our presence is needed and our consult or advice is asked for. There should not be any other involvement as if it does not exist for us. We need to keep separateness or balanced attitude. Looking from another angle, all these exist only because of our mind. If we examine ourselves with balanced mind and without any attachment, we will realize that we have taken lot of interest in the items, where there was no need for meaningful involvement. The mind needs to be engaged only in the places where we have meaningful responsibility. Also this needs to be done with least involvement of the mind and only till the work is finished. Here least involvement does not mean that the work is done by ignoring or without paying attention to it. It is best if the work is done with the view point that the work belongs to God. We need to be careful that there is no trace of our insistance to force our views on others in these worldly affairs. If we are responsible for certain work, we should carry out this responsibility with the best of our ability and understanding prevailing at that time. But this is entirely a different thing.
