Core Insight:
According to Osho, enlightened masters tell jokes because divine life is celebration, not grimness. Laughter heals depression, breaks ego’s seriousness, and opens hearts to grace; even jesters earn paradise for uplifting people. A joke becomes a loving offering to God, a reminder that true religion is joyous, down-to-earth, and alive—bringing Buddha, Christ, and us back to their original, laughing humanity.
