What are the unnecessary things that need to be avoided?

[Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: Namaste Swami. I had a dream. In the dream, Phani Swami spoke to me on the phone "If you want to do any service to Datta Swami, please send the money to your Swami." Then you spoke to me on the phone and said that if you want to be a servant of the Lord, you must first stop doing unnecessary things in the world." I don't understand what are the things that need to be avoided, please explain. Thank you, Swami.]

Swami replied:- Unnecessary things mean luxuries that spoil health and precious time. By saving money from these unnecessary harmful luxuries, you can practically participate in the service of God. A devotee having 100% faith in the human incarnation of God will not separate the mission of God from the personal service of God. God is the ultimate and not His mission. Some devotees having a small doubt on the human form of God like to do His mission than His personal service. The mission got value only from the personal value of God. Basic love to God is the most important. If God wishes, His mission can be completed by Him in a fraction of a second. When God competes with His own mission and you have to vote for God against His mission. You must give success to the bond with God in every test.
