What is the significance of Krishna's role in the Mahabharat battle?

Krishna teaches us that true action arises from awareness, transcending fixed loyalties, for in the dance of life, even the enemy is but a reflection of ourselves.

— Osho
According to Osho, Krishna’s significance in the Mahabharat is that he stands beyond fixed loyalties—unattached, fluid, and responsive to the moment. He shows that friendship and enmity are impermanent, so one should act from awareness, not habit. The war itself becomes a lesson in honest conflict: fight wholeheartedly yet meet heartfully, remembering even the ‘enemy’ is part of oneself and life’s ever‑changing play.

Krishna teaches us not to cling to sides but to do what’s right in the moment and treat even opponents with respect because life keeps changing.
