According to Sai Baba's teachings, how should one balance worldly life and family duties with the pursuit of spiritual realization?

Chapter 14 suggests that the key to balancing worldly life with spiritual pursuits is to remain constantly alert and aware of the transient nature of existence. The text advises that the purpose of life should be to live happily in the world but to always strive to make this human birth meaningful. By understanding that family relationships are like pieces of wood temporarily meeting in a river, one can avoid becoming overly entangled. As the chapter explains, the stories of saints, while discussing worldly involvement, ultimately lead one to the path of renunciation. This implies that engaging with family duties while recognizing their impermanence is the way to achieve spiritual progress.
