Is Comedy Above the Ego?

      This is a good question. Just like anything, also comedy can turn into a ego feeding machine. Remember how some people of some religion or spiritual tradition, goes for innocent purpose but as they gain power, they forget about this goal and use their power to enjoy themselves through their ego. That is the reason some of the things are not taught people untill they matured to a level, which makes perfect sense...

      Osho s example was the perfection! He says, all these spiritual work is to wake you up, it is like the alarm clock.... but when the clock rings, instead of waking up, you keep dreaming with the alarm clock in it. This happens a lot, like your dream leaks into your reality and reality leaks into your dream...Consciousness will seal the borders if one can cut the unneccesary emotions&actions. People keep making this spiritual journey as a ego contest. This applies to comedy also. This can change the direction of the jokes and the person, it might sour and or might feel so forced after some time.

         Comedy is above the ego, but one can always use this aboveness for themselves selfisly !
