Zen masters have nothing on this man. They're still acting unnaturally, theyre atill act from the source (mind)

UG was a liberated man and not a fraud. I think it's important /lit/ knows more about UG as he's a hidden gem. He got straight to the point and did not mess around.

UG was an Indian speaker who questioned the state of enlightenment. Although many considered him an "enlightened" person, U.G. often referred to his state of being as the "natural state". He claimed that the desire for the experience of enlightenment only takes one further away from one’s natural state, and that the search for enlightenment is essentially a neurotic search for permanent pleasure and happiness. He rejected the very basis of thought and in doing so negated all systems of thought and knowledge. Hence he explained his assertions were experiential and not speculative – "Tell them that there is nothing to understand" he would say.

To better understand UG in a couple quotes here is this

>I have no teaching. There is nothing to preserve. Teaching implies something that can be used to bring about change. Sorry, there is no teaching here, just disjointed, disconnected sentences. What is there is only your interpretation, nothing else. For this reason there is not now nor will there ever be any kind of copyright for whatever I am saying. I have no claims.

>I am forced by the nature of your listening to always negate the first statement with another statement. Then the second statement is negated by a third and so on. My aim is not some comfy dialectical thesis but the total negation of everything that can be expressed

>There is no transformation, radical or otherwise. That buffoon
talking in the circus tent there offers you a journey of discovery. It is a bogus charter flight. There is no such journey. The Vedic stuff is no more helpful. It was invented by some acid-heads after drinking some soma juice.
