Core Insight:
According to Osho, yes—it’s a compromise. By insisting on an incomplete truth, Shankara must concede the denied side of reality by naming it ‘maya,’ ‘inexpressible,’ or ‘utilitarian truth.’ Since what-is inevitably asserts itself, he’s forced into conceptual adjustments. In contrast, Krishna is ‘uncompromising’ because he embraces both dimensions of reality simultaneously, needing no after-the-fact compromise.
