con una mente mundana

It seems clear to me that the context is Christian here, and makes reference to the Scripture that says that Christians should not love the world, nor the things that are in it.

If this is not the context, we could probably change it to

con una mente universal (or worldwide), but I do not think that this is the case.

Depende del contexto; no sé si se refiere a que tienen mucha experiencia en personas y cosas de muchos lugares del mundo, o si les gustan las cosas materiales.
