U.G. Krishnamurti

1918 -

The anti-guru, the nihilist of enlightenment.

He says that realization can't be made to happen, that it's a calamity, that if you knew what it's like, you wouldn't want it.

He tells people not to listen to him. It can't help, he says.

People listen anyway; his words are fascinating.
