Sounds a lot like Alan Watts. The Universe is a funny process with no purpose. Then he drank himself to death. I agree.

Nope, don't drink at all. And if you read about Zen masters, they often shocked their students with absurd words or impossible tasks. So Krishnamurti was not original there. Also, I recall reading about one awakened monk who, when asked how he lives, said "when I'm hungry, I eat, when I'm tired, I sleep". Same as U.G.'s “living organism, nothing else”. I guess unplugging from the matrix of social conditioning is what enlightenment is. Stop being what others programmed you to be, just live free. Everything is just a show.
