According to Osho, Krishna’s significance in the Mahabharata is that he embodies the wisdom of life’s polarities and refuses sentimental peace; by not stopping the war, he catalyzed the necessary tension that awakens dormant energies, spurs creativity, and propels evolution. Krishna guides action aligned with the whole, showing that conflict, rightly engaged, is transformative rather than merely destructive.
Krishna didn’t block the battle; he helped it happen wisely so people could grow stronger and learn to act bravely and skillfully.
