Withdrawal from  sensory objects is an important virtue.  It implies a state of mind that is above and beyond all dualities that  agitate and affect common people, such as joy and grief. Withdrawal from sensory objects can be  achieved while engaged in day to day living.  Do not look at the world with a worldly eye. Then, even you can escape  from the opposites of grief and joy, and attain balance and equal mindedness.  You experience the One as many because of the mind playing its games. Practice  seeing everything as a projection/extension of the Loving Lord. Then, you will be able to cross the horizon  of dualities into the region of One.
