" My path can never be your path " - UG

The real guru or the sage frees you from himself. He refuses to become a puppet of those who receive his wisdom and benefit from it.

It takes real guts and gumption not to succumb to sentiments of gratitude, adulation and affection that could easily sway and enslave an ordinary, attention-seeking, crowd-gathering guru who actually ends up as a follower (puppet) of his own followers, dancing to their tunes.

UG rejected reputation and following, a rare individual who walked the talk.

" If you try to copy them (models), you are lost..." - UG

With UG, all man-made models lost their meanings. He made us breathe freedom, freedom from vicious clutches of imposed models and goals.

He made us realise how societal impositions and goals could become addictive, burdensome and debilitating.

" Religious thinking has no answers for our problems today." - UG

UG emphasised that the so called solutions have created problems in every walk of life. Solutions that are inadequate, incomplete propogate more problems.

On the otherhand, UG laid emphasis on technology as the hope for many of our stubborn problems. Technology and not Politics, nor Religion holds the key for overcoming many of our problems.

The prudent application of frontier technologies like the AI, ML, IoT, Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, 3 D Printing, 5G Networks, Blockchain, Bio Synthesis etc. could drive innovations that could 'provide more with less' and solve the nagging problems of hunger, nutrition, education, health, medicare etc through their phenomenal reach, access and affordability.

Agri Tech, Food Tech, Process Tech, Precision Agriculture, EduTech Bio Tech, Med Tech, Pharma Tech etc. are indeed game changers that need to become part of the curiculum and pedagogy of every school and university.
