Book excerpt: THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A "NATURAL MAN" WHO AT THE AGE OF 49 WENT THROUGH A PROFOUND AND PHYSICAL CATALYSIS - MANY PHYSIOLOGICAL, ATOMIC EXPLOSION AS HE CALLS IT, THAT LEFT HIM -MIRACULOUSLY CLEANSED OF ALL OVER IMPOSITIONS OF THOUGHT AND CULTURE. SINCE THEN THIS NATURAL MAN, AFFECTIONATELY CALLED UG, HAS LOBBED CYNICAL GRANADES ON EVERY CITADEL OF AUTHORITY AND CONVENTION. FOR HIM THERE ARE NO TEACHERS, NO GURU, NO RELIGION, NO STRIVING, NO SOLACE, NO REDEMPTION. HE IS THE ULTIMATE NON-GURU, A KIND OF COSMIC NAXALITE WHO RUTHLESSLY DEMYSTIFIED SPIRITUALISM, BUT CLAIM HE HAS NO PANACEA TO OFFER. FOR A PERSON WHO SAYS HE HAS NO QUESTIONS AND NO ANSWERS TO GIVE, IT IS SURPRISINGLY EASY TO TALK TO HIM. AND IT IS INDEED A PRIVILEGE TO INTRODUCE THIS BOOK - THE END OF ALL BEGINNINGS.
