NOT LIFE DENYING

There are sects of Hinduism that emphasize the illusory nature of the world and the futility of taking part in it.  The view of Advaita Vedanta is that the world may be illusory, but it is still a manifestation of divinity and a temporary reality to be respected.  One should do his duties in the world, this is to say, but do them in a way that leads to liberation.  Doing them in a way that deepens attachment to the world must be avoided at all cost.
