UG!!

I have been reading up on UG for sometime now,i got to know of his presence from a cousin of mine and it was reinforced by a guy called Frank in Landmark.These are some of his quotes which have really intrigued me.

The plain fact is that if you don't have a problem, you create one. If you don't have a problem you don't feel that you are living.

That messy thing called 'mind' has created many destructive things. By far the most destructive of them all is God.

The so called self-realization is the discovery for yourself and by yourself that there is no self to discover.

Unless you are free from the desire of all desires, Moksha, liberation, or self-realisation, you will be miserable

Why should life have any meaning? Why should there be any purpose to living? Living itself is all that is there. Your search for spiritual meaning has made a problem out of living.

In nature there is no death or destruction at all. What occurs is the reshuffling of atoms.

All experiences, spiritual or otherwise, are the basic cause of our suffering.

God is the figment of man's fertile imagination.

There is no such thing as truth. The only thing that is actually there is your 'logically' ascertained premise, which you call truth.

You mistakenly believe that by pursuing the spiritual goal you will somehow miraculously make your material goals simple and manageable.
