Synthesized from Source
definition
"Humor is the laughter of the soul, a way to deflate the ego and embrace the absurdity of existence."
According to Osho, sannyasin humor is self-mocking and liberating: the shipwrecked disciple says he wants "nothing"; a hunter is asked how a lion got into his pajamas; an abstract painter’s sketch nets a go-go dancer, a buffalo, a garbage truck, and a hotel; a rescuer begs the Pope for secrecy; a bold daughter flips "dishonor"; an ex signs "the Frying Pan"—all poking fun to puncture ego and celebrate nonseriousness.
Osho shares playful jokes about his disciples to keep things light, show they can laugh at themselves, and remind us not to take life too seriously.
