According to Osho, Krishna embodies upasana, not sadhana. Sadhana is ego-driven effort—the ‘I’ disciplines itself, hardens like ice, and attains the atman, ending in a supreme, crystallized self. Upasana is the opposite: drawing near God by dissolving the ‘I,’ melting like ice into water, until nothing remains. For Krishna, liberation is no-I, not perfected I.
Krishna’s way is to stop trying to achieve and instead let your ego melt away so you can merge with God.
