After all, this world as each of us knows it, will end for each of us. That the world for each of us should end now, as it did for UG, means a deeper comprehension of reality that includes the intellect.
Going through the doorway of death is a difficult thing to do for the ego. The ego doesn't want to die, it seeks to control. Like in the story where the 'fallen angel' alternatively known as the 'devil' would rather rule on earth than serve in heaven.
The ego death is not even a physical event, it's just a paradigm shift of the mind where there's the realisation that you are omnipotent. It's the realisation that you are God, and that you are dreaming yourself alive as a physical being in time and space. In duality, the dream, any thing that can be imagined or believed will be real and true within the dream world.
Real God love is surrendering to every dream 'experience' whether it be positive or negative, and not attaching to one over the other in avoidance of one in preference to the other. The total surrender to ''what is'' ..is NEVER under the ego's control, and is always an act of pure fearless love. Like what Jesus demonstrated on the cross. His death was a metaphor for ego death, so that the supreme God self could be realised. God is not outside of consciousness. God is consciousness, pretending it's a finite material 'being' in space time duality...the dream world.
Awakening to the God infinite consciousness state of pure being, is likened to jumping out of an airplane without a parachute, only to discover that upon falling, there is nothing to fear, since the falling doesn't end as there is no ground on which to land, there's just endless free falling.
Ego is designed to not jump. But those egos that do jump, are people like UGK, and Ramana Maharshi, and Nisargadatta Maharaj and Rupert Spira to name just a few.
It's rare to reach God consciousness, and most ego's do not care about putting in the work to get there. All it takes is one simple shift, and that said, those who do not care, will change nothing, as everything is perfectly the absolute.
Every thing is perfectly right in every way shape and form, and where it should be in every moment.
But you know all this anyway.
