Core Insight:
According to Osho, shared humor in a spiritual gathering cracks the shell of seriousness and guilt, exposing religious pretenses and relaxing the mind. In the instant of laughter, thought pauses, egos soften, and a warm communion arises—making people more open, innocent, and available to insight. Jokes become skillful means: they decondition, humanize the sacred, and allow meditation to happen effortlessly.
