KNOWLEDGE IS NOT INFORMATION, IT'S TRANSFORMATION (this is actually about a very funny joke)-
OSHO
Did you come here pursuing any of the following words or phrases?: joke, really funny joke, very funny joke, good clean joke, best joke, new joke, joke program. If you did, I assume you are searching for a joke, so read on. The aim of this page in conjunction with the e-mail list is the cultivation of the neutral mind in the midst of the everyday. Sartre says, "Philosophy is in a glass of wine". It is the mystery in broad daylight. Can we use the sticky situations of each day, our reactions and our frustrations to reach a state of awe and wonder? Can these events help to reveal our blueprint that we bring to our relationships, jobs and orientations to life? Yogi Bhajan says a teacher must ,"Poke. provoke to a reaction, confront and elevate." In this context the jokes and anecdotes from the Eastern and Western thinkers quoted in the e-mail list " Jokes for Inspiration and Elevation" will be our teachers. To subscribe send an email to jokes4inspiration-subscribe@listbot.com What can we learn from these jokes and stories? Why are we sometimes so emotionally involved in our reactions and at other times able to drop them and let go? What is the nature of attachment and releasement? Each newsletter will have a quote, joke or anecdote and I'm hoping to make this page a place to further the perceptions that result from the initial laugh. Here's a sample from the first issue: Mulla Nasrudin's face lit up as he recognized the man who was walking ahead of him down the subway stairs. He slapped the man so heartily on the back that the man nearly collapsed, and cried, "Goldberg, I hardly recognized you! Why, you have gained thirty pounds since I saw you last.And you have had your nose fixed, and I swear you are about two feet taller." The man looked at him angrily. "I beg your pardon," he said in icy tones, "but I do not happen to be Goldberg." "Aha!" said Mulla Nasrudin, "so you have even changed your name?" OSHO Comments on Humor by Osho: Why do you laugh when a joke is told? What happens within you? What does the joke do? It creates a tension. The story goes on, and you become more and more tense inside, and you cannot imagine what is going to happen.Then suddenly there is a turn, and the happening is such that you never expected that this would happen. That's why Mulla Nasruddin in every one of his jokes and stories always proves himself the stupid man in it, never anybody else. He always laughs at himself and allows you to laugh at him. He never puts anybody else in the situation of being foolish. Sufis say that Mulla Nasrudin is the wise fool. Edit. Note: Mulla Nasruddin is frequently mentioned in Sufi humor. This page is under construction and by the middle of September should have different branches to address the areas that the newsletter initiates.
