What is the ultimate joke of joy?

Synthesized from Source definition

Core Insight:

According to Osho, the ultimate joke of joy is that you are already enlightened—the goose is out and was never in the bottle. Only the problem-loving mind and ego pretend otherwise, inventing bondage to stay busy. Recognize that all is divine and nothing is lacking; in that seeing, problems, mind, and ego dissolve, and effortless joy remains.

You’re already free and okay; only your busy, problem-making mind imagines you’re trapped.
