Why did Meera and Socrates have different experiences with poison despite both being intoxicated with love and knowledge?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Existence functions by law; do not mythologize the extraordinary, but discern reality and respect the natural consequences of your actions."
According to Osho, Meera and Socrates differed not because devotion outshines knowledge but because of ordinary cause and effect: Meera likely drank adulterated Indian poison and laughed; Socrates received uncompromised Greek poison and died. No miracle, no spiritual exception—existence functions by law. Don’t mythologize; discern reality and respect natural consequences.
They reacted differently because Meera probably got weak, mixed poison, while Socrates drank real poison—so it wasn’t about being holier or wiser.
