Thank you! I wholeheartedly agree with your conclusion - philosophies of oneness can often lead to focusing on ultimate states, and downplaying the importance of the relative and the relational. But it’s also partly due to not placing more importance on the here and now in “mundane” terms!
Yes, yogis down play the yams and niyamas (ethical practices) to focus in asanas. But, what better mind training hour by hour than to consciously bend the buddhi and ahamkara to do the right thing, pick up that one dirty sock off the floor.
