Torah gives us rules of conduct for most human activity. If Torah is <BR>
the blueprint for self-perfection, then following those rules is part of that. <BR>
<BR>
When you say the need to fulfill one's other obligations transcends the <BR>
requirement of self-perfection, it seems to me you're assuming that <BR>
if you're busy with the former, you're not working on the latter.<BR>

Adaraba. If you keep just weights, lend money for free, leave the ox <BR>
unmuzzled when threshing--you're busy perfecting yourself, <BR>
even if you're neither learning, meditating, or praying as you do.<BR>
