What is the nature of Krishna's relationship with Draupadi and the spiritual union of Vasudeva and Devaki?

True union transcends the physical; it is a spiritual intercourse where the soul meets, and the body merely follows like a shadow.

— Osho
According to Osho, Krishna’s essential relating, including with Draupadi, is on the plane of the soul: true union is ‘spiritual intercourse,’ where bodies merely follow like shadows, free of lust. Thus Krishna’s birth from Vasudeva and Devaki is the fruit of a soul-level meeting; and beside such Everest-like heights, even their children seem historically small—not valueless, but eclipsed by the peak they stand near.

Real love happens in the soul, not the body; Krishna was born from his parents’ deep inner union, and around such greatness, others naturally seem smaller.
