Hence you don't see a single instance in the life of Jesus when he would have laughed. Even before he was crucified he lived like he was continuously being crucified. The crucifixion of Jesus seems to be the ultimate outcome: this guy will never be satisfied unless he is crucified.
"Why were you kissing my young daughter in that dark corner last night?" said the angry father.
"Now that I have seen her in the daylight," said Ernie, "I sort of wonder myself."
In the darkness you have been curious and you have been many more things, but in the light you start sort of wondering, "What have I been doing?"
It was the couple's twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and the wife said, "Darling, you have been a very good husband over the years and I would like to show you my appreciation. Is there anything that you would like on this special day?"
The husband thought for a while and then said, "Yes, actually there is. You have always forbidden me to look into the top drawer of your cupboard. I would really like to see what is in there."
His wife agreed and he opened it. Inside there were two eggs and about ten thousand dollars in cash.
"What are the eggs for?" he inquired.
"Well," said his wife, "I guess it's time you should know. Every time I was unfaithful to you, I put an egg in the drawer."
"Twice in twenty-five years," smiled the husband, "that's understandable. But what is all that money?"
"Well, darling," she replied, "Each time I had a dozen eggs, I sold them."
Devageet, it is very good not to be curious about unnecessary things, because one never knows....
Question 2
BELOVED OSHO,
I REALLY ENJOY MEDITATION AND AM ABSOLUTELY CONTENTED WITH MY LIFE. BUT NOW IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HAD ANY GREAT PASSION OR GREAT JOY OR GREAT PAIN THAT I AM WONDERING IF I HAVE BECOME DULL AND STUCK, OR IF THIS IS THE WAY THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
Deva Avesh, it is part of this great pilgrimage. The moment you become contented, in the beginning it feels the journey is over and you are tremendously blissful. But as time passes contentment settles down, you are peaceful,
