The sense of humor of Shiva

Karl Renz: I would say if it hits you, you may laugh – Oh, it’s me, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. But it’s not like a sense of humor, it’s simply like you understand the joke or not.

Question: Yeah.

Karl Renz: But you are the joker who understanding that you are the joker, joking and out of that joker all the jokes are coming.

Question: Yeah.

Karl Renz: That is called the absolute sense of humor.

Question: So, what is this absolute sense of humor?

Karl Renz: That’s you may call the sense of humor of Shiva. By building everything and in one buff – having fun of building it up and destroying this, without any care.

Question: But it’s just another thought. It’s just an experience or something.

Karl Renz: I tell you, this is uninterrupted. The sense of humor of Existence is never-never. This is silence. There is a sense of humor which is happiness. That what is humor which has no humor. So it’s always like… So even in suffering, so called suffering experience, there is a background – always that enjoyer, the absolute enjoyment even of that: “Look, there is one who is suffering like. If you pronounce it. Oh, he suffers really deep today.”

You better be that what is enjoying the silence without any interruption. And silence is that nothing happened in that whatever experience.

Question: Still it’s funny sometimes.

Karl Renz: Sometimes funny.

Question: It’s always funny.

Karl Renz: It’s fun itself. You can say – it’s fun itself.

Question: You must laugh quite a lot.

Karl Renz: I don’t have to show it.

Question: No, but still…

Karl Renz: Sometimes I cannot hide it. But it’s like the same with you. Because you are sitting here that I trigger that what is normally hiding in the back. That it comes. It cannot help itself.

Question: Sure, I mean I want to laugh at the world.

Karl Renz: But by wanting to laugh, you cannot laugh. Then we are coming to the nature of fun which is like helplessness or the nature of laugh. The absolute laughter is helplessness. It cannot where it wants. Because it doesn’t even know how to want.
