You can remain aloof from all these miseries and their causes and you can experience such a state of total indifference or aloofness and this I state on oath.
For such a state of indifference, it is necessary to abandon all contacts of all kinds. It is also necessary to seek the shelter of the lotus like feet of a nonattached spiritual guide or master.
First you decide to always maintain the same reverence and respect throughout life since the time you fall at the feet of your spiritual guide. If you feel your previous deeds are very powerfully obstructing you in doing so, then you do not renounce the world, but you shift your living to another convenient place or area but do not forget for a moment your spiritual objective.
At first by whatever means you know your life. To know it, will help you in your future meditation. At present do not fall prey to sloth or idleness. Really speaking not to know your real self is itself ignorance, idleness or sloth.
Mentally utilize your life span in thinking of achieving your enlightened self.

Consider worldly life as bondage.
Go on following a good religion and observe your duties believing that you do not carry with you the burden of your past births deeds. In spite of this attitude if the past deeds harm you, then bear them without any worry or anxiety.
Try to take care of your real self infinitely more time than the care you take of your physical living body because you wish to nullify the evil effects of all your previous births in only one present life.
If this is unavailing, be committed.
From all these ways whatever you can follow do it in the best way possible.
Try to think result orientedly.
Behave as if you are not answerable to any living being except to your spiritual guide.
Do not overlook the final result of all you do. Always remember your ultimate goal of liberation. This is my only recommendation and that is proper religion.
