According to Osho, humor is not frivolous; it is a penetrating tool that slips past the proud intellect, punctures the craving for 'higher levels,' and opens a relaxed, receptive space where truth can be tasted directly. Like Zen stories, jokes deflate pretension, dissolve distance, and deliver understanding immediately—without esoteric posturing.
Humor helps you drop your serious, show-off mind so you can feel truth simply and directly.
