But then, one also might wonder whether UG was "realized" or not - because what would be the use of relabeling a black wolf to "not a white wolf"? Apart from that, it shows that UG had expectations of "self-realization" and all his expectations were blown out - not much of a surprise though... Why didn't he just say" Whatever label, it's never what you think, expect or hope. All thoughts, expectations and hope constitute the seeming separation".
