>The ultimate purpose of the world lies not within the world but in transcendence of the world. Transcending the world does not mean to withdraw from the world, to no longer take action, or to stop interacting with people. Transcendence of the world is to act and to interact without any self-seeking. In other words, it means to act without seeking to enhance one's sense of self through one's actions or one's interactions with people. Ultimately, it means not needing the future anymore for one's fulfillment or for one's sense of self or being. There is no seeking through doing, seeking an enhanced, more fulfilled, or greater sense of self in the world. When that seeking isn't there anymore, then you can be in the world but not be of the world. You are no longer seeking for anything to identify with out there.

People like Tolle are not spiritual, they are underemployed. Otherwise I do not understand why one would turn "love God and your neighbour as yourself" into a whole paragraph with fancy words like "transcendence." It just adds nothing to the human experience to do so. He is just saying stuff that is older than the hills poorly.
