definition
"Humanity is the most hilarious animal, for our minds create absurdities that make existence itself laugh; in laughter, we find a purifying gap that transcends thought and leads us to meditation."
According to Osho, yes—humanity is the most hilarious animal: our minds manufacture absurdities, and existence itself must be laughing at our “circuses.” Laughter is purifying, total, and opens a no-thought gap akin to meditation. He illustrates human hilarity with the zoo-keeper’s mating-season peanut retort and the novelist’s 500-page “Git up!” to a stubborn horse.
People do such silly things that even “God” would laugh, and laughing fully makes you feel light and quiet inside.
Why this matters practically
- Defuses crippling seriousness; restores playfulness and health.
- Use total, mindful laughter to taste a pause in thinking (a doorway to meditation).
- Helps drop ego-weight and meet life’s absurdities with ease.
