According to Osho, yes—Shankara is compelled to compromise: by insisting on the absolute and denying the relative, he must still concede maya some status (indescribable, conventional, renunciatory) because it undeniably appears. Speaking of it grants it reality. Krishna, by affirming both absolute and relative together, avoids compromise; integral acceptance dissolves the paradox from the start.
If you deny part of reality, you end up sneaking it back in with clever labels; accepting both the spiritual and the worldly from the start needs no tricks.
