"Kindly let me help you or you will drown," said the monkey putting the fish safely up in a tree.





















Alan Watts (1915-1973)


The late Alan Watts, who is known as a master of communication, wrote over twenty books on the philosophy and psychology of religion, on Hindu, Buddhism, Taoism and Zen. Watt's mastery of the art of communication is even more apparent in his spoken words.











How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.





I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.





Many people never grow up. They stay all their lives with a passionate need for external authority and guidance, pretending not to trust their own judgment.





Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.





People often say to me, 'I understand what you are talking about intellectually, but I don't really feel it, I don't realize it,' and I am apt to reply, 'I wonder whether you do understand it intellectually, because if you did you would also feel it.'





Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.





Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.





We are at war between consciousness and nature, between the desire for permanence and the fact of flux. It is ourself against ourselves.





When no risk is taken there is no freedom. It is thus that, in an industrial society, the plethora of laws made for our personal safety convert the land into a nursery, and policemen hired to protect us become selfserving busybodies.





Light shines in darkness because what else could it shine in?





Life is a game, the first rule of which is that it is not a game.








"To see the moon, you must forget the pointing finger, and simply look at the moon."
