According to Osho, Martin Buber’s I–Thou remains dualistic; it cherishes intimacy without dissolving the two. From that standpoint, Krishna’s non-dual claim of identity with the divine would be reduced to a safe ‘Thou’ opposed to an ‘I,’ not the annihilation of both. As with Jesus or Mansoor, Buber’s tradition cannot affirm “I am That,” only reverence from separation.
Buber keeps God and person as two; Krishna says they are one—so Buber would miss Krishna’s oneness and keep a respectful gap.
