Why does an enlightened master tell jokes?

Synthesized from Source definition

"An enlightened master tells jokes to remind us that life is a celebration, where laughter heals and opens our hearts to grace. True religion is joyous and alive, bringing us back to our original, laughing humanity."

Because laughter makes sad people happy and helps us feel close to God, so a wise teacher uses jokes to open our hearts.
Why this matters practically
- Use humor to dissolve tension, uplift others, and build connection.
- Treat spirituality as celebration; drop guilt and heavy seriousness.
- Let laughter loosen the ego so insight and love can enter.
