And, as I mentioned, they are not the only verses on the subject. You are taking a verse from its context and forcing it to obey your definitions of what is "the world." To take on a context that it does not naturally have. To your mind it fits, but your mind is not the decider of truth.
The real problem is what you define as "in the world" or "of the world" or even simply "the world."
Taking enjoyment of anything is potentially "the world" or not "the world." There is nothing that makes any particular kind of music simply "the world." Same for driving any particular kind of car. I've seen Yugos and Mercedes in LRC parking lots. The Yugo may have been "in the world" while the Mercedes was not.
You and anyone else in the LRC are not the arbiters of what is, by definition, always "in the world."
