That is true at the end game of spiritual practice when all attachment, particularly to goodness and pleasure, must be abandoned.

However, in Buddhism, and apparently according to Pantanjali, morality is necessary in forming a base, the platform, from which higher states of meditation can be reached. And without the experience of higher states, one will never become fully disenchanted or fully dispassionate.

To view morality as optional, in Buddhism, is risky. At the same time, however, the sense of identity is systematically being eliminated. When one reaches the end game, “good guy” and “bad guy” do not have starring roles, because there is “no guy.”

Maybe I misunderstood the post but I think it is important to emphasize the role of morality in any spiritual practice. In Buddhism, morality is the basis of the Noble Path. It only drops away naturally at the very end. It can be a part of practice without being cumbersome or bullyish.
