According to Osho, enlightenment is a wakeful, playful clarity: you can immediately recognize the joke, see beyond the surface of words, and respond from insight rather than heaviness. It signals freedom from literalism and egoic seriousness—an effortless, lucid awareness that catches the essence of things instead of being trapped by concepts.
It’s being so awake and lighthearted that you get the joke behind words and see what’s real.
