What is the nature of friendship in the context of enlightened beings like Krishna?

definition
"Friendship with an enlightened being is not about special bonds, but a natural resonance; true giving is measured not by quantity, but by the sincerity of the heart."
According to Osho, friendship with an enlightened one like Krishna is not a special or preferential bond but a natural responsiveness. He neither creates friends nor foes, yet when love is offered he echoes it many times over—not as a favor, but as his very nature. The measure of friendship is the inner cost and sincerity of giving: Sudama’s handful of rice outweighs a king’s treasure, and love keeps giving, never feeling it has given enough.
An enlightened friend doesn’t do favors; they naturally mirror your love back even more, and what counts is the heart behind your giving, not its size.
Why this matters practically
- Prioritize sincerity and inner sacrifice over material quantity in relationships.
- Give without bargaining; genuine love invites effortless, abundant response.
- Drop expectations and imitate nature’s echo: respond, don’t calculate.
