He should've been more specific. Yes, maybe my practice is making a difference in those areas, but can I really say that it is working, merely on account of doing that? What if my ptractice makes me more edgy, more irritable, makes me want to burn bridges and hurt others so that I could retreat to the mountains, away from the gossip land? Can we say that, by making such a difference, my practice is working? Yes, it is obviously working, but not towards freedom.
