No Way Out

I asked a friend, an editor of a magazine, to do a cover story on U.G. His prompt response was, “U.G. is not a cover story material, he is only for the upper-class intellectuals…has no mass appeal...” “Very few people can understand him and his philosophy,” he went on to add. On coming out of his office, I pondered over the startling revelation. After all, just because I understood or appreciated something, does not mean that everyone else does too. I started going through the various material available on / about U.G. and discovered that the fault did not lie with U.G. or his statements (which I knew already) but with people like us who want to present him to the world. Just like when we present a rose to someone, we break off all its thorns, we should present the essence of U.G.'s philosophy in its purity, minus the mind -shattering, devastating, blasphemous…thorns. I am trying to do this exercise and hope to reach the masses! Sunita Pant Bansal NOIDA, India 2002
