At the end of the day, the pasuk bcholl drachecha daeihu in all your ways you should know him is really what must dictate all of your behavior. My lack of focus on the component of your relationship with God is only indicative of my lack of knowledge in that component as compared to many other people. But at the end of the day, the Torah the the RBSO has given us includes the relationship with the RBSO and our relationship with our fellow humans.

In the book
We change the world, all of us, continually and without noticing — which makes us almost God-like in our small way — and the one thing required to make those changes beautiful is forethought, doing what we do on purpose and aiming at a good result. I have written you little about your relationship with God, only because I never counted myself the expert there; but if you keep nothing else of mine on the matter, keep the verse — in all your ways, know Him. There are three ways to come by this kind of wisdom, the old teaching says — by reflection, which is noblest; by imitation, which is easiest; and by experience, which is bitterest. — Legacy / The Logbook (Legacy/Epilogue)
