Can I attain moksha by leading a normal life and just by doing my work as a worship?

It’s a good thing to do our work as a worship; it ought to be done so. rnHowever, that’s not enough to attain moksha. For instance, suppose you’ve been doing your work as a worship, with utmost sincerity. And just then, you overhear two people talking about you. “Oh! Chandu (please insert your own name here) is a lazy bone. He is not able to complete even a small task on time”, says one; and the other is quick to respond, “Over and above, his work is so shabby.”

So, the pain given to other’s bodies will be reflected in the same way to one’s own body indeed. However, these are all effects of one’s past karmic accounts. Say, a man drowns in debt and becomes bankrupt. People then call him a bankrupt. But once he clears his debts, would everyone continue to say, he is bankrupt? No! Similarly
