Inferior is an understatement. Say what you will about Watts, but at least he did as he claimed: being a philosophical entertainer, there only to amuse what he himself has been amused by.

His success is mostly because of his BWB (Big White Beard).
A BWB is a symbol of wisdom and enlightenment - ancient philosophers are almost invariably potrayed with BWB's. It's also associated with magic (the common fantasy trope of a bearded wizard) and even Godhood (in European art, Gods are often portrayed with BWB's - be it Zeus, Odin, Yahveh or others)

If he was just another clean-shaven pajeet, he would be begging in the streets of Mumbai.

In Yoga they say, that peoples body and mind become one and his body is not beautiful , means he lost control over own body appetites and turned in to wickedness of lie for own benefit.

If you dedicate time to work on your body and then have results you enjoy, wouldn't you be satisfied with your self and feel appreciation to life ? Sorry not to life but to appreciation collector Guru. You need a lots of poor people in order to have rich one and there is no way around it.
So do you need daddy, that sets you to work? and harvest your fruits of labor?

Art to lie with confidence you can spot when people talk about non-existing things like they are experts about and hugest possible authority .

Of course people who just went to a meditation class are likely to feel better about their life than a random person. They went to the meditation class becasue they wanted to feel better than their life.
