A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.Seriousness is never religious, cannot be religious; seriousness is of the ego, part of the very disease. Laughter is egolessness. Yes, there is a difference between when you laugh and when a religious man laughs. The difference is that you always laugh about others; the religious man laughs at himself, or at the whole ridiculousness of man's being. Religiousness cannot be anything other than a celebration of life. And the serious person becomes handicapped, he creates barriers: he cannot dance, he cannot sing, he cannot celebrate.
The very dimension of celebration disappears from his life.He becomes desert-like. And if you are a desert you can go on thinking and pretending that you are religious, but you are not. Even laughter is not just laughter. All purity is lost. You cannot even laugh in a pure way, in a simple way, childlike. And if you cannot laugh in a pure way, you are losing something tremendously valuable. You are losing your virginity, your purity, your innocence. Watch a small child; watch his laughter - so profound, comes from the very centre.
