What is the relationship between laughter and totality in an enlightened being's actions?

Laughter is the only total emotion, a spontaneous burst of energy that reflects the essence of an enlightened being, where action arises uncontrived and pure, free from the shackles of the mind.

— Osho
According to Osho, laughter is the rare positive emotion that can be total; negativity is never total. Because totality requires positivity and spontaneity, laughter exemplifies how an enlightened being functions: energy builds, the mind's logic breaks, and action bursts forth, whole and uncontrived. Such laughter-like action is immediate, total, and aware only after the fact—an uncalculated flowering of presence rather than a partial, conflicted reaction.

Enlightened action is like real laughter—positive, sudden, and complete, not half-hearted or planned.
