The Cosmic Joke — Enlightenment Is 😂 Ridiculously Obvious

The mind is like that guy who walks around the house in circles looking for his glasses…
while wearing them.
That’s you, seeker.
Enlightenment isn’t hiding.
It’s not some secret reserved for Himalayan sages or those who’ve done 40-day juice fasts.
It’s so stupidly obvious that you keep missing it.
Why?
Because the seeker is the one thing that has to go missing.
The Punchline of Existence
Imagine this:
The Infinite One — call it God, Consciousness, the Self, or whatever term makes your soul do backflips —
decides to play a game.
It hides itself… from itself.
Pretends to be lost.
Pretends to be you.
And then begins this absurd journey of "finding" itself again.
It’s the world’s longest game of hide and seek.
And the twist?
You were never lost.
That’s the joke.
The Ego: A Comedian Without a Mic
The ego is like a really bad stand-up comedian that just won’t leave the stage.
It tries to do enlightenment.
“I should meditate more.”
“I need to fix my karma.”
“I’m almost there…”
Almost there?
Where exactly?
There’s no “there” in Being.
There’s just now.
Always now.
And guess what?
You’ve never left it.
The Ultimate Spoiler Alert
People say, “Don’t spoil the ending!”
But I will.
You’re already That.
Boom. Show’s over.
Except… it’s not.
Because even when you realize it, the human continues — laughing, crying, buying almond milk, and forgetting again.
But deep down, a chuckle remains.
A divine smirk.
Because once you’ve seen through the illusion,
even suffering gets a bit ridiculous.
My Own Cosmic Giggle
I once sat on a silent retreat in Rishikesh, surrounded by serious faces and folded legs.
And then…
It hit me.
All of it.
The seeking.
The effort.
The ideas about “me” and “mine.”
The one trying to “get there.”
Gone.
And in that moment, I didn’t feel enlightened.
I just felt stupid.
Gloriously, beautifully stupid.
Like the punchline of a joke the Universe had been trying to tell me for decades.
It’s Not About Becoming Holy
You don’t become this angelic, peaceful, floating-on-a-cloud being.
You become no one.
And that’s the freedom.
Because when there’s no one left to defend, compare, achieve, or prove anything…
You’re free.
Free to be ordinary.
Free to laugh.
Free to live.
Free to die.
Without making it all such a big deal.
Even God Is in On It
You think God wants you to suffer for 12 lifetimes before you “earn” enlightenment?
Please.
The One is just laughing through every flower, every mistake, every mosquito bite.
And you, my friend, are the punchline and the silence that follows it.
You’re the setup, the confusion, the climax…
and the laughter that erupts when the whole illusion collapses.
In Case You Forgot
This very moment,
as you read these words,
you’re That.
The One reading.
The One breathing.
The One pretending to be on a spiritual path.
Drop it all — just for a second.
Don’t reach for anything.
Just be.
Feel that?
No fireworks.
No trance.
No enlightenment certificate.
Just this.
You got the joke. 😉
