It is not just the side effects of the practice. We need to detach from all intrusive influences and it becomes easy to do that when one's practice improves and is along the correct lines. The way I have explained it is very simplistic, I agree. I am following the book Heart of Yoga, and TKV Desikachar explains this sutra rather simplistic too. Hanuman, you are right.

Whatever we do, we should do it without any expectation, as is stated in the Gita; absolutely detached of the fruits of our actions. And this is the lower form of detachment; the higher one, described in the next sutra, includes even to be detached of the purpose of being detached.
