There will be conflicts when you have to perform all kinds of work and meet all kinds of people. So can we get rid of this conflicts? Mahatmas thought about working in Sansar, earning livelihood and not have conflicts. After experiencing Sansar, they came to conclusion and with compassion let everyone know that cleansing of the Prana is the main thing and intellect is cleansed automatically. At the same time, we cannot live without expectations and desires. Our entire working is based on it. Work is not possible without it. So intellect insists on having expectations and desires in work but experienced people said 'there is a way to perform work while keeping expectations.' There were many devotees in past who stayed in Sansar, performed work and became Mahatmas.
Shree Bhagwan says in Gita (holy, Hindu scripture) that you cannot live without Karmas. Karmas will not leave you and you will not leave karmas. Karmas are needed since human being has a body and it needs food to survive. So intellect argues that, how is it possible to perform Karmas without expectations, desires and covetousness? So experienced people found the solution to perform the Karmas without attachment (અનાસક્તિ) to it. Cultivate the habit of not getting mixed up ( નિર્ભેળપણું) with Karmas and deny the ownership of the work. This will give satisfaction and you can earn for your needs. It is possible to do activities that is needed with love.
Intellect is cleansed as we deny the ownership of the work (નિર્મમત્વપણું) and do not get mixed up with the work. Intellect becomes brighter and provides appropriate answers to our problems and puzzles. You will also get understanding to do the work in a certain way to get best results. There is lot more understanding than understanding of ordinary intelligence. So the belief of the intellect that work cannot be done without desires and covetousness is proven wrong.
It means, if Prana and intellect get better, other implements also get better. Mind is the cause of bondage and Moksha. When, what we call inner implements (અંતઃકરણો) are cleansed, everything is possible.
