What is the significance of humor?

Humor arises from the space of not-knowing, where laughter shatters the ego's seriousness and unveils the absurdity of life, guiding us from the mind to the heart.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
When you drop the need to know everything, you can laugh freely—and that laughter opens the door to peace and awareness.
Why this matters practically
- Defuses stress and ego by not taking yourself too seriously.
- Creates a doorway to meditation: laughter softens the mind into silence.
- Keeps you present and flexible instead of rigidly certain.
