According to Osho, humor—even irreverent ethnic jokes—serves to puncture ego and lighten the spiritual journey. In this passage he shares slapstick vignettes: a funeral where one carries a radio, a sand-for-oil scheme, a urinal splash gag, and a taxi tumble, all exposing human foolishness. Laughing at such stories helps loosen identification and invites watchful, relaxed awareness.
He tells some silly ethnic jokes to make you laugh so you stop taking yourself so seriously and can calmly watch your mind.
