According to Osho, choosing dubious, indirect means—moralistic manipulation, deceit, self‑torture—only makes action more crooked, hypocritical, and ineffective. In a relative world, some taint is inevitable; the wisdom is to use the least-crooked, most straightforward force necessary. Gandhi’s devious coercion hurts himself to hurt others; Krishna’s directness prevents greater evil and confusion, keeping means aligned with a clear, protective end.
Sneaky, roundabout tactics just hide violence, hurt everyone more, and create confusion; be as honest and direct as possible to prevent bigger harm.
