Quote by Eckhart Tolle, Interview with Wh

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.http://www.wie.org/j18/tolle.asp

Summary

Transcending the world refers to the ability to remain active and engaged in life without seeking self-gratification or validation through our actions or interactions with others. It means acting without the intention of enhancing our sense of self or finding fulfillment in the future. By letting go of the desire to seek an elevated self-image in the world, we can be fully present and immersed in the world, yet not reliant on it for our identity or self-worth. When this seeking ceases, we can experience a sense of detachment from worldly desires and attachments.
