You should not      listen to me at all! Be alert, be watchful. I am not a man to be relied upon      always. There is no need to get the joke -- the joke will get you! You      simply relax -- you simply relax!         You are trying to find some significance, some hidden meaning, something      esoteric in it. It is simply a joke!    But that's how we have been conditioned for centuries: to take everything      seriously. I want to destroy your seriousness. That's why I have to search      for all these stupid jokes, just to destroy your seriousness!         In fact, it is very troublesome for me. It will be easier for me not to tell      you any jokes, but then you will become very very serious. Even telling you      these jokes you go on clinging with your seriousness. You are trying to find      some meaning.        Life has no meaning. Rejoice! It has no meaning. Dance, sing, enjoy! It has      no meaning. You need not be serious. It is a cosmic joke! What is there to      get? But the achieving mind is always trying to get something, even out of a      joke. Can't you relax at all? Can't you simply listen and laugh?         Do you have to understand it and its significance and its esoteric meaning      then you will laugh? By that time the joke is finished -- you have missed      the point. The point is simply to relax; but you will be very serious about      it, you must be.        I have heard... Jesus, I have lost it again! I have not heard anything, not      a word! Do you see? Even without a joke people are getting it! So if you      want to get it you get it, joke or no joke! I have not heard. I have not      told you, and you have got it!    It is a question of relaxing!</blockquote>
