According to Osho, humor is a deliberate mirror and filter: through jokes he reveals hidden traits and recognizes who is open, simple, and intelligent enough to understand him. Those who resonate are naturally attracted; those who don’t would not be reached anyway—with or without jokes. Laughter becomes a playful test, not an insult, separating seekers by receptivity.
Jokes show who “gets it”—the ones who can laugh come closer, and those who can’t wouldn’t stay even without the jokes.
