"The first thing I did after enlightenment was laugh, for in that moment I realized the absurdity of seeking what is already our nature. Enlightenment is not an achievement; it is the relaxation into being, watching the dance of light and darkness."
According to Osho, the first thing he did after enlightenment was laugh—an uproarious laugh at the absurdity of trying to attain what is already our nature.

He burst into laughter because he realized you can’t chase what you already are.
