Analogy of Telling a Joke

A man asks about understanding. Rupert uses the example of telling a joke: a good storyteller builds the audience’s anticipation and tension before delivering the punchline. Then, the audience laughs. The joke must have concluded before the understanding of it takes place. However, the understanding happens before the laughter. The understanding brings the mind to an end and plunges us into the heart of awareness.
