definition
"Krishna does not confine the Gita to a single path; he invites you to explore each in its purity and choose the one that resonates with your soul."
According to Osho, commentators read the Gita through their own sectarian lens: some crown jnana (knowledge), others bhakti (devotion), others karma (action), each forcing the whole text into one system. Krishna, however, opens all paths and speaks each in its purity. Osho refuses to impose a framework; he echoes the Gita’s fluidity and urges seekers to choose the path that feels truest and walk it.
Different teachers pick their favorite part of the Gita and call it best; Osho says the Gita offers many good paths—choose what fits your heart and go with it.
