Are visions of Krishna mental projections or real experiences?

True spirituality transcends all visions and names, leading you into the formless ocean of Krishna-consciousness where the mind and its images dissolve.

— Osho
According to Osho, visions of Krishna with form are usually mental projections—dreamstuff created by desire and imagination. Genuine encounter is not with Krishna’s image but with Krishna-consciousness: a formless, oceanic, heightened awareness reached when mind and images cease. Icons can serve as initial aids, but true spirituality transcends all visions and names into no-mind presence.

Seeing Krishna like a person is your mind making pictures; the real experience is quiet, clear awareness with no pictures at all.
