UG is a master disruptor. He cuts to the chase and peels off layers of acquired meanings that have crept into our verbal structures and got deeply entrenched.
Every thought, word, expression, meaning that we have inherited is culturally soaked and biased. Heaps of misinformation and disinformation lie buried beneath our indomitable belief structures or the value system.
UG here, is explicating life and living, in the simplest of words stripping off all the mystery.
For UG, the questions on life and its meaning, however profound, were just abstractions, mental gymnastics. He focused on ground realities, our problems of living, pointing out that they are our own creations. Problems of poverty, hatred, terrorism, cultural wars, all the problems of living, he maitained have their roots in our ways of thinking and the inherited value system.
