What is the ultimate joke of joy?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"You are already enlightened; the only illusion is created by the mind and ego that cling to problems, forgetting that all is divine and nothing is lacking."
According to Osho, the ultimate joke of joy is that you are already enlightened—the goose is out and was never in the bottle. Only the problem-loving mind and ego pretend otherwise, inventing bondage to stay busy. Recognize that all is divine and nothing is lacking; in that seeing, problems, mind, and ego dissolve, and effortless joy remains.
You’re already free and okay; only your busy, problem-making mind imagines you’re trapped.
