i know same topics was in the board but i want to talk about this again.
i was watching to eckhard tolle mombai talk , power of now, first session and he mention this very nice 'there is a danger of adding a new egoistic state in spiritual practice and cultivate it for 20 30 years' and also 'become friend with present moment'.
i think both of the ideas are very critical and hard to avoid.
ps: i know tolle is not very welcomed to giving quotes for some people, also for me!

Not just 20 or 30 years practice, but the books, the movie, the dvd's, a whole career in fact. The boy's done well.
