Is the formless Supreme, God without form, the same as Krishna?

“

Krishna is not a different God; he is the formless Supreme fully revealed, while we remain veiled in layers that obscure the same divine light within us.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, the formless Supreme is the same in everyone—including Krishna. In Krishna the divine light appears fully because all veils have fallen; in us, layers still obscure it. There is no difference in the light itself, only in the coverings. Thus Krishna is not a different God, but a completely uncovered manifestation of the formless.
Yes: it's the same light; Krishna's lamp is uncovered while ours is still covered.
Why this matters practically
- Points you toward removing inner veils through awareness and meditation, rather than seeking a different God.
- Replaces inferiority with inspiration: the same essence shines in you.
- Clarifies devotion: honor Krishna as a mirror of your own potential for full manifestation.
