Life, Love, Laughter: Celebrating Your Existence

In this book, you’ll find conversations taken from different sources and united by the theme of life, love, and laughter—three things Osho considered the most important for a person.

Life is what has already happened and is the foundation of everything. Love is the most beautiful of everything that still might happen. And laughter is what relaxes, brings you back to earth, returns you to reality, and gives reality its taste.

The master helps us remember that life is not as serious and heavy a matter as most people are used to thinking, and he offers us a different way of looking at it.

“I’m against any seriousness. My whole approach is based on humor, because the sense of humor is the most beautiful spiritual quality. Not truth, not God, not virtue—but a sense of humor. If we fill the whole earth with laughter, dancing, and singing—people who dance and sing—if we turn the whole earth into a carnival of joy, a festival of lights, then for the first time we will bring true religious feeling to the earth.

The world is God’s play, a cosmic joke. And until you understand it as a cosmic joke, you won’t be able to know its main secret.”
