What are the subtle similarities and differences between Mahavira’s dispassion, Christ’s holy indifference, Buddha’s disregard, and Krishna’s non-attachment?

The destination of all spiritual paths is one, yet the journeys are painted with the unique hues of each seeker’s experience.

— Osho
According to Osho, all four culminate in the same realization, but their moods and methods differ: Christ’s holy indifference is neutrality tinged with sorrow and residual choosing (the temple whip); Buddha’s disregard is choiceless serenity and deep peace; Krishna’s non-attachment is a dancing, celebrative freedom; Mahavira’s dispassion is quietly overflowing bliss. The destination is one; the journeys color the experience.

They all reach the same truth, but Jesus feels sad and still chooses, Buddha is calmly choiceless, Krishna is joyfully dancing, and Mahavira is quietly blissful.
