Is a comma required in : "Take your mind off the war and return to a happier time!"

On one hand, they're two independent clauses. "[You] take your mind off the world, and [You] return to a happier time." According to this https://www.grammarly.com/blog/comma-before-and/, that necessitates the use of a comma.

However, if you remove the extraneous fluff around the sentence, can't the sentence be reduced to "You take and return"? And that looks like the 'and' between a list of actions. In those cases, according to the same grammarly site, the comma before 'and' is optional.

So is there a right/wrong here, or is it just stylistic preference? Or can the sentence not be interpreted as a list of actions?
