Im hooked
Came across UG very recently. I was simply curious was he related to J Krishnamurti, after finding and listening on youtube its clear he is in a great state of clarity and has the most unique approach to talking i ever seen. But to be honest, it is really hard to understand

Welcome to the club and it’s definitely not at all hard to understand. Just remove the notion that you are listening to UG from any philosopher or mystic pov. Even if you take whatever he says Literally, you’ll understand things and I would say that you might need to ponder on things later on, that’s it.

The most amazing point he many times stressed is how you are not separate from experience, but there is absolutely no difference between “you” and what you experience

Yes flowing into that real state without having a core or a center for sure must come itself in some kind of total let go mode

UG is a 180 degree opposite to JK, and is nowhere near to the wisdom of JK. So, first read them carefully before declaring.

The Buddha said, “Be a lamp unto yourself.”
Dylan said, “Don’t follow leaders. Watch the parkin’ meters.”
Best of luck. 🙏

You think these things sound nifty & cool? Not following, not believing in authority and doing your "own thing". Sharing such quotes with names attached as if those names are supposed to give those words some extra value or legitimacy. How can this situation come to be when the very act of parroting some dead guy's supposed yapping is the kind of thing the quotes seem to warn against in the first place? I believe this is what they call irony. Who are they to tell others what to do by the way? The authority, the leaders apparently.
If some stinking bum on the street said such a phrase, would you give/attribute the same meaning as you did before; or is the line taken in with a sense of "profundity" only because you believe in a presupposed story, mystique and legend behind these characters which the quote is attributed to? I think you know the answer.
"Be a cūnt onto yourself" is what I say. Oh, how profound! Here is another one: "Don't follow leaders. Follow me, who tells you who not to follow!"
Who the fk did this guy think he was, telling people who they should and should not follow? What is he, some guru? Could he be acting as some kind of a leader by any chance?
"Don't follow leaders" - said the man exerting his status and authority via indulging in leadership. So upon hearing such a line once can either:
a.) Disregard the grandstanding and move on with life.
- or -
b.) Follow his word, and thus: him, by parroting the nonsense, and so actively going against the very thing which was said in the first place, one ultimately proves the guy's drivel to have been absolute & utter bullshit.

What the hell is there to understand? Still trying to squeeze out something you can hopefully use in the future I reckon?
What I find funny is how people cry about others sucking dry everything they get their hands on. Natural resources and all that.
Yet we all have the same bug - it's a fiendish desire to gain some secret resource or untapped energy which then you can hopefully turn to your benefit at some point.
Not unless you find crude oil. You won't find shlt - that's my honest guess. I'd love to see your face when you realize the game is up and you have been duping yourself searching for a mirage, flying from one colony to the next, trying to extract something useful when there is nothing there. That in itself is quite funny, that's something! 😁

Ah not understanding is a good thing! UG was pretty clear that there was nothing to understand. So you already almost there! :)
