    • Lauren Babb, MA I like the term acceptance. The yogi understands that self and all apparent "others" are fleeting and illusory expressions of the same core infinite Self, with the truth of Self transcending any momentary apparent manifestation. 

      Remembering this, the yogi can choose to respond to/interact with other illusory expressions of Self at whatever level feels relevant from a place ultimately rooted in kindness, compassion, tolerance, in the recognition that at the truest level of Self/being we are all passing illusions awakening to the truth of our ultimate oneness in our own curious ways. 

      In so doing, the yogi retains awareness of the dispensible nature of his/her physical form and expression (and that of others), and remains tethered to awareness of the eternal nature of oneness at the core of all beings and trusts in the meandering nature of the awakening of all beings.

      LOL! What a mouthful! In short...it depends! It is not the yogi's obligation to teach or correct "others". However, holding a space of truth and inviting others to this simply through the momentum and radiance of his/her being is the true yogi's irrevocable path.
