What is the significance of the eighth sense, the sense of humor?

Humor is the eighth sense, a sign of growing consciousness that transforms suffering into playfulness and reveals the absurdity of life, turning existence into a joyous carnival.

— Osho
According to Osho, the eighth sense—humor—is uniquely human and a sign of growing consciousness. As awareness deepens, humor ripens, dissolving heaviness and ego; at its peak, existence becomes a joyous carnival. Cultivating humor is spiritual practice here: it reveals life's absurdities, loosens control, and turns suffering into playfulness, sharpening insight while celebrating being.

Humor shows you’re waking up inside, helping you drop seriousness and enjoy life like a big happy festival.
