Swami Vidyanarayana Tirtha visited UG in the Farm House. The day was May 3rd, 1997, Saturday. Swamiji arrived with four of his disciples from Rajajinagar around noon.
Swamiji said, “UG is the ultimate God. He stands for that. I am a nobody compared to him.”
Swamiji continued: “Now you had the darshan of the Lord. In this world there are several groups. Some connected to Siva; some are the followers of Vishnu; some are the followers of Madhvacharya, and so on. But an avatar like UG comes rarely to show the true path.”
UG replied to them: “You came to the wrong man.”
Swamiji cast a mischievous look at UG. After a while he asked UG, “What are the Swiss people like? What is their characteristic nature?”
UG said: “All people are the same. Be they Indian, American, Swiss or Russian. Everybody is after one thing: happiness without a moment of unhappiness. Permanent happiness is what everybody is seeking. Unfortunately it doesn’t exist anywhere. That’s the tragedy of the human race.”
Swamiji then said something to UG in Kannada which meant “You are elder to me in all respects.” UG smiled and remarked in Kannada: “Kannada barolla” [“I can’t speak Kannada”]. There was a burst of laughter from the gathering. Suddenly, UG’s face became serious. He turned to the Swamiji and said: “What do you want sir? You want all this and heaven too. Whatever you want you already know. How can you ask for a thing which you don’t know? What I am saying is not in your field of knowing. You want to experience the oneness. You are already one with That. There is no separateness. That is what I am saying. Whatever you are doing is the one that is creating the separateness. It is strengthening that separateness.”
Mohan interrupted and asked, “What shall we do, UG? Why can’t you help us? You understand our situation very well. Can’t you help us?”
“You don’t need any help. I know that you don’t want to accept that fact,” said UG.
Mohan turned to Swamiji and asked, “Swamiji, do you have any question to ask UG?”
Swamiji smiled and said, “I have come here to enjoy his presence, not to bother him with questions.”
Then he added as his advice to all that gathered, “Just listen, connect, and leave.”
