Does following Sai Baba's path require abandoning worldly life for spiritual goals?

The guidance in Chapter 14 suggests a balanced approach rather than complete abandonment of worldly life. The stated purpose is 'to live happily in the world but always remain alert and make this life meaningful.' This indicates that engagement with the world is expected, but with a heightened sense of awareness and purpose. The text explains that Sai Baba uses stories of 'worldly involvement' as a means to lead people toward renunciation, implying a gradual integration of spiritual values into daily life. The goal is not to escape the world, but to transform one's experience within it.
