Core Insight:
According to Osho, Krishna’s response to Shishupala does not expose hidden intolerance; it reflects discerning compassion. Ordinary patience runs out; Krishna’s does not. He stops only when further forbearance would abet evil—when tolerance turns into sustaining unrighteousness. Like a ‘third-cheek’ moment, he chooses a golden mean: immense endurance up to the limit, then decisive action to prevent harm and awaken the wrongdoer.
