In your meditation does 'god' actually do anything - does it exhibit any sort of agency - or is it just a single object or point of focus/awareness like a light or whatever? Does Yoga meditation have similar aims as Buddhist meditation (apart from the god bit)... to lose 'attachment' to pretty much everything including the sense of self?
Yoga is all about reducing the distance that separate you from God.
As a drop of water that after so much trouble finally end up in the ocean she become the ocean.
There is no more distinction.
Now the drop of water is the ocean as the individual by merging in the ocean of consciousness
become God.
This is what yoga is all about.
Talking about Buddhism you got to be carefull.
Only a fraction of Buddhism follow what Buddha was teaching.
All the rest is religion which is worthless.
