According to Osho, Krishna’s “dark-night” birth, being “born in prison,” and the immediate threat to his life are poetic symbols of universal truths: all birth occurs in darkness, embodiment is bondage, and death shadows every moment. The same applies to Christ’s birth; myth encodes inner realities, not history. Uniqueness appears only when awakened awareness transcends death’s power.
Both stories say we’re born in darkness, bound by limits, and under death’s shadow—and the real miracle is waking up and becoming free before we die.
