Is Krishna a devotee, and if so, who is he devoted to?

“

Krishna embodies the essence of devotion, not as a worshipper of an external deity, but as one who recognizes the divine within all and ultimately within himself.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, Krishna is both devotee and God. Devotion for him is not toward an external deity but a quality of heart that sees godliness in everything; as it deepens, it reveals the same divinity within oneself. Thus Krishna’s devotion is to pervasive godliness, culminating in realizing his own divine nature.
Krishna loves the sacred in everything until he discovers that the same sacredness lives inside him.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivating devotion makes everyday life feel sacred and meaningful.
- Beginning as a humble devotee leads to realizing your own inner divinity.
- Practice a loving, prayerful attitude in simple acts to transform perception and self.
