What is the relationship between Shankara’s supermoralism, Tilak’s activism, and the completeness of the Gita?

The Gita is not a mere amalgamation of opposing views; it is a living, organic whole that transcends the duality of supermoralism and activism.

— Osho
According to Osho, Shankara's supermoralism denies moral choice because all action is maya, while Tilak's activism affirms the world and prescribes auspicious action. Their views are opposites, and merely combining them does not complete the Gita. Krishna's vision is an organic, living whole that can include both, yet cannot be constructed by mechanically adding partial standpoints.

Shankara says doing doesn’t matter, Tilak says doing right matters, and Osho says the Gita’s truth isn’t made by mixing views but by realizing a living wholeness beyond them.
