How important is the actual 'experience' of the world? Imagine that someone tells you that they love you, but in practice do nothing to show you such love. If you don't feel that you can count on them for support, for sharing, for presence, does their feeling have a real meaning for you? Does it have an impact on your life? Consider now a very rich person: they have money but they are reluctant to spend it, to enjoy it, to make good use of it. Does that wealth have an actual significance, does it produce a beneficial effect in their lives? They enjoy the feeling of 'owning', but this is totally useless in a practical way. So, you could say that experiencing the world is possibly the most essential feature of your life, because without it everything would just happen in your mind. You might be contented with it, and that is fine, too. As to the spiritual world, it certainly is enough. In the physical, material world, maybe... not so much.
