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.

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.
