Does a Saranagathar need to perform Sandhyavandanam(Nitya Karma)?

In the  Sandhyavandanam Process there is a Procedure called as  Vandanam wherein the karta salutes all the other Deities at the end. This implies that the Process contains Steps wherein  the performer is granted certain material benefits which is incharge of a particular deity ans well as spiritual benefits A Question may arise, if that is the case, why should a Saranagatha  perform sandhyavandam.
Although we are all saranagathas, we still require and utilize different facilities such as Water,Air, food by paying taxes to the respective department, we also visit our family Doctor for our health and also thank them while we leave their clinic. Similarly in Sandhyavandanam such basic processes are recommended as a part of our Nitya Karma which all tri varnikas must perform including Saranagathars since it is not Kamya,  a saranagathar doesnot consider other dieties as the giver of Fruits but Sriman Narayana himself. He has the jnana that Sriman Narayana is the antaryami present in all Devatas mentioned in Sandhyavandanam.
 A saranagathar abstains from all Kamya Karmas. Sandhyavandanam can be abandoned when has become completely self-realized and is so much absorbed in Devotion that he doesnot even feel the needs of water, food etc. There are many parama bhakthas such as Sri Haridas Thakur, the 6 Goswamis of Gaudiya sampradaya, Jada Bharat, Sukacharya etc..who have led such a life without any samskaras.

The many complex problems which the worldly Governments are very much concerned of such as the Global Warming, Lack of Rains, New Diseases,Pollution, Corruption, Crime etc can be solved when we incoporate the eternal Varnashrama Dharma System recognizing Sriman Narayana as the Center of all Duties and Activities. This will bring peace to the Society.
