What I like about U. G. is that he was considered an Anti-Guru. And when people came to him for life/spiritual advice, he tore them apart and showed them the cold reality of everything. Yet of course barely any of them could comprehend and accept it.
UG was raised up in the Theosophical Society just like Jiddu Krishnamurti and UG learned all the tricks to the trade and was not afraid to talk about it
