UG and the Realm of the Essence
Come to think of it - UG could very well be
the subject matter for open -minded researchers any or all of
these - philosophers ( not the narrow academicians), scientists
especially the new breed of Cognitive Scientists - encompassing mathematicians,
physicists, computer scientists , neuroscientists, psychologists thrashing out
the Nature of Consciousness), Vedantins, Sociologists - in short any one
serious about mind-matters! And UG simply brushed aside - 'Mind Does not
Matter" Mind does not even exist!
The whole knowledge seeking pursuit of experts from
every realm is at stake, in danger of receiving a lightning jolt, UG is tearing
up , blasting the very bed-rock of one's life-time pursuit.
With UG, all questions stopped - they simply
lost their steam! He mocked at us, teased us - pointed out that they were not
even our questions!
With UG there was no beating around the bush, no
quoting from other sources, not even the privilege of relying on our own
experiences - the very ground on which we stood gave way - "there is
NOTHING TO ALL THIS SIR" - this hit us like a ton of bricks!
Knowledge is all about acquisition, here the very attempt at knowledge got
booted out!!
Remember the timeless quote from Tao Teh
Ching?
" To accrue, to gather leads to knowledge; to
diminish,to throw away leads to Tao"
UG conveyed this message without the words!
INSTRUCTION WAS ALWAYS DiRECT, IMMEDIATE
& PERSONAL - UG threw away all that was non-essential so we were left with
the wordless ESSENCE !
Our hearts felt lightened, brains unburdened,
uncluttered, we felt liberated, meeting him was indeed a healing and cleansing
experience!
