The most brutally honest man I've ever known. That's what's most attractive about him. He didn't hide behind fantasies. Whether he liked it or not he was the guru of the exhausted truth-seeker who is just about done with it all, but at some other level still has so much life within.

my quest has ended! this whole thing is ridiculous, too much free time leads to these nonsene of becoming "god" or seeking something that does not existe, i see it now, good bye chaps! i´m going to enjoy my life
UG strikes down all teachers and their teachings including culture and says it all conditioning and there's nothing one can do to free oneself from that because the CONDITIONING one has IS THE PERSON. How could a person free oneself from himself/herself? This message comes to people as being overly pessimistic and real bad news. Most interpret this as "they're screwed" and that they need to remain prisoners of their conditioning all their life unless some "miracle" happens, like what happened to UG (he calls it calamity), to free one from this stranglehold of thought (or conditioning). UG remains very firm that there is nothing "beyond" thought and offers no way out of this "problem". In other words, there is nothing one can do, and for people hearing this, its quite depressing and some have even said they've lost interest in life. UG says he doesn't know why what happened to him doesn't happen to other people. "I was just lucky" he says. In the same breath, UG also says the body is unparalled and has a tremendous intelligence which trumps what we call the "intelligence of our minds". But he doesn't offer a solution to snap of our mental conditioning and be able to tune ourselves to our bodys' intelligence. Now, I would like to throw in my 2 cents. What is conditioning? Its thoughts that have been repeated endlessly and/or been accepted as "true" (eg: whatever culture says, we accept them and go with it without examining why we accept it as a rule). In other words, conditioning is just a replay of memory and we act mechanically thinking that there is no other way to act in a given situation, and therefore respond (actually react) in the same exact way to the same stimulus. A different response to which one was reacting the same way before would therefore be "outside" of this conditioning and we could call it a "creative response". We could also call it a "conscious response" as opposed to a mechanical response. As conscious responses increase, the reliance on memory slowly fades away until one day, we have the option to use either. Memory is still available but doesn't rule our life. Currently, we are like robots responding and reacting mechanically using the data that comes from memory. Conscious response requires we come up with something "outside of memory" ie. outside our conditioning. And to UGs point about there is nothing beyond thought, I would say, there's just life energy pulsating. We have become slaves of our memory running it all the time. When we are consciously responding however, we are in tune with life energy which is always creative and new. Hence, there is no need to fight our conditioning. We simply need to ignore it. We simply need to see if we can come up with any other response than the one we are always used to doing that basically puts us in tune with Life energy itself, and therefore creative. To me UG himself seems to be stuck answering the same questions the same way with no additional insights which is boring and very un-useful. I'm sure it would have occured to him to say what I've written here but I'm quite surprised he didn't. Also, memory is what UG calls the KNOWN or the past. Hence, by not relying on the past, you get to live in the present by NOT USING the reactions coming from memory (knee-jerk reactions) and pause a couple of seconds to come with something fresh. This way we get to live in the present and be free from our past (the stranglehold of thought as UG calls it) and enjoy our life. Who are we really? We are all LIFE energy that acts through our bodies. This energy has no shape or any other attributes. And its always fresh. If this is not who we are, then what else are we?? In fact, this is what Ramana Maharshi implied when he came up with the "who am I ?" question. He never said that one has to "answer" it or use it like a mantra but just "see" that who you ARE is LIFE itself. Unfortunately, UG put down Ramana too. In my opinion, UG is a great teacher who clearly shows how our over-reliance or dependence on memory/conditioning ruins our life, but doesn't show us the way out of it. UG disliked using the term creative since he said there's no such thing as creativity!. So I posit that "newer ways of responding to life situations" (creative that is :)) has the potential to help us reduce our reliance on mechanical memory-based reponses and attune ourselves with life energy (our Beingness).
Bob is Ug's Jamie
Its a Bobverse we are living in !!!!
