“If you dig stoned philosophy, you’ll love Alan Watts. This video has a profound impact on your perspective.

Stoners love Alan Watts. And it’s no surprise Watts supports cannabis (among other drugs), given his heady aptitude. Arguably the greatest philosopher of our time, Watts’s profound thoughts, paired with his unparalleled speaking abilities will leave you and your mom, brother, sister, grandpa, friend, neighbour and dog utterly speechless.

So roll a joint and prepare yourself for 4 minutes of pure splendour. Once it’s over, consider trying your hand at a Watts impersonation with your own mind-blowing sermon. Struggling to find the sultry smooth pitch emblematic of the brilliant Brit? Better pack another bowl or five — we’re pretty sure that’s Watts’s secret.”

She used to carry many bags with her, full of seeds of flowers. Her whole luggage was nothing but seeds of flowers. Sitting in the train by the side of the window she would go on throwing seeds outside the window, and people would ask, “What are you doing? You carry so much unnecessary luggage, and then you go on throwing those seeds out of the window for thousands of miles.”
She said, “These are seeds of flowers, beautiful flowers. When the summer goes and the rains come, these seeds will become plants. Soon there will be millions of flowers. I will not be coming back on the route and I will never see them, but thousands of people will see them, thousands of people will enjoy their fragrance.”

She actually made almost all the railroads in India full of flowers, and people said, “When you will not see them again, what is your joy?”

She said, “My joy is that so many people will be joyful. I am not a miser. Whatever I can do to make people joyful, happy, I will do; it is part of my love.” She really loved humanity, and did everything that she felt was right.”

“Today a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the Weather.”

“My father is no more, but I remember him in such moments, when I suddenly see that I am behaving just like him. When I see his picture, I know that when I too am seventy-five, God willing, then I will look just like him. And it is so good to feel that I will not betray him, that I will represent him even to my very last breath.

Devaraj (my doctor) – I am not mistakenly saying Devaraj for Devageet – I mean Devaraj: Youyou should remember it. My body functions exactly like my father’s, even in its illnesses. I am proud of it. My father suffered from asthma, so when I suffer from asthma I know this body comes from my father, with all its faults, flaws and errors. He was a diabetic, so am I. He loved to talk, and I have done nothing else all my life than talk. In every way I have been his son.

He was a great father – not just because he was my father but because even though he was a father, he touched the feet of his son and became his disciple. That was his greatness. No father has done it before, and I don’t think it is going to happen again on this rotten earth. It seems impossible. The father becoming the disciple of the son? Buddha’s father hesitated; my father never hesitated for a moment.”

When I heard this I began to laugh. Somewhat affronted, he asked, “Why are you laughing?”

I answered, “What greater mistake can there be than not doing anything because you might make a mistake?”

To fear mistakes is to fear life. You have to be ready to make mistakes. The only thing is not to make the same mistake again. Only the man who avoids old mistakes but is not afraid to make new ones, lives and learns. And he is also the only one who ever wins too.”
