Is Krishna guilty of encouraging the immorality of marriage?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Marriage should be the shadow of love, never its source; when love is the foundation, union becomes a natural and moral expression of the heart."
According to Osho, the immorality lies not in two lovers choosing to live together but in the institution of marriage that suppresses love. Marriage should be the shadow of love, never its source. When union arises from love, it is natural and moral; contract-first unions are bondage. Therefore, Krishna is not guilty if he upholds love over institutional compulsion.
If people live together because they truly love, it’s fine; forcing love through a marriage rule is wrong.
Why this matters practically
- Choose relationships from love, not social pressure.
- Feel free to part when love ends, without guilt.
- Build partnerships on authenticity and mutual joy.
