" The question HOW is adding momentum to knowledge...You are a product of that momentum. " - UG



UG narrows down the scope of self-inquiry, strips it down to the nuts and bolts of self-formation, self-sustenance or self-continuity.
UG tears apart the needless complexity or abstraction surrounding the 'self' and calls into question the deep-rooted cultural mechanism behind the build-up of the 'self'.
Our knowledge-based, knowledge-driven psychological existence is exposed or revealed with these four pithy statements:
One, " 'Self' is nothing but 'the movement of knowledge' "
Two, " Experience strengthens knowledge and knowledge strengthens experience"
Three, " 'You' as you know yourself is a product of the momentum of that knowledge passed on to us "
and
Four, " The 'How' adds momentum to the acquired and accumulated knowledge passed on to us.

Who we are, or who we become is the work of culture. Like cattle branding, cultural branding is a proof of ownership. With its humungous repository of knowledge culture molds, shapes and owns Rama or Radha, Saif or Sarah, John or Jane.
