An excerpt of Alan Watts transcript from the Vetetable Root Discourses:If the mind is clearA dark room has its blue skyIf the mind is somberBroad daylight gives birth toDemons and evil spiritsThe just manHas no mind to seek happinessHeaven thereforeBecause of this mindlessnessOpens its inmost heartThe bad man busies himselfWith avoiding misfortunesHeaven thereforeConfounds him for this desireHow unsearchable are the ways of heavenHow useless the wisdom of menThe Tao is common propertyIt should be pointed out to all we meetLearning is as ordinary as eating rice at homeAccording to the circumstancesIt should be applied circumspectlyThe Ancients left rice for miceAnd did not light lampsOut of pity for mothsThese thoughts of theirsAre the operation point of humanityIn lifeLacking thisA man is a mere earthmanA wooden bodyThe Zen sect saysWhen you are hungry — eatWhen you are weary — sleepPoetry aims at the descriptionIn common languageOf beautiful sceneryThe sublime is contained in the ordinaryThe hardest in the easiestWhat is self-conscious and ulteriorIs far from the truthWhat is mindlessIs near[End transcript of Alan's talk.]
