The Role of the Joker

The joker is the one who has insight into the fact that all our social institutions are games. A good joker is inclined not to laugh at people because if a person is terribly seriously involved, he feels sorry for them. He can play as the joker can in the deck of cards in any role. The real joker is Brahman, is the ultimate player of the game, the divine ground of the universe. But when people take games seriously and part of the fun of a game you must remember is to take it seriously.
