"The kind of religious life we see abroad today is entirely different from the robust holiness of the life of Jesus." That robust humanity was not the result of an asceticism or isolation from the reality about Him, but that "He was inwardly disconnected all the time. He was not aloof, but he lived in another world…never allow[ing] anything to interfere with His consecration of spiritual energy."
Likewise for ourselves, as in the Lord's example, we are to be in the world but not of it; to be disconnected fundamentally, not externally.
