bed with another man and you said, `Please, sir, carry on,' and the man was able to continue -- that is `savoir faire'."
Except man, nothing is hilarious in the world. Just watch around you. And it is not that there are only a few examples, there are so many examples. In fact every man -- if he watches himself -- will find himself behaving in a hilarious way in many situations. Or if you are alert enough and a witness, you will find so many people ... you cannot believe why the world is so sad, when so much hilariousness is going on. It should be a continuous festival of laughter.
That's what my concept of an authentic humanity is: it will be hilarious, enjoying every moment. It will not be serious, it will not be saintly. It will be utterly human and absolutely respectful of its humanity, its laughter, its dance, its song, everything that human beings are prone to.
Niyama, be more alert and watch and note down whenever you see something hilarious happening -- and particularly in my place. Where do you think I get all these jokes? My people just go on watching each other and creating jokes and informing me. I never go out. But people are learning watchfulness, so they come across so many hilarious things in themselves and in others .... They go on preparing jokes for me.
I'm never short of jokes, because in my place in twenty-four hours there is nothing else to do. It is a continuous carnival.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Osho.

Question 1
BELOVED OSHO,
SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU, I FEEL SOMETHING TREMENDOUS IS HAPPENING TO ME, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND AT ALL. I FEEL SO THANKFUL, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY AND FOR WHAT. TEARS ARE COMING, BUT I CANNOT SEE ANY REASON. I LEAVE DISCOURSE WITH UNSTEADY KNEES, AS IF I HAD DONE TWENTY-FOUR HOURS' HARD WORK. BUT WHAT HAPPENED? IS IT A MATTER OF MY UNDEVELOPED AWARENESS THAT I DON'T GRASP WHAT IS HAPPENING,
