What should we do to assimilate Krishna?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Do not try to assimilate Krishna; instead, let his essence inspire your own unique flowering, for true spirituality is the celebration of your individuality."

According to Osho, you should not try to assimilate Krishna at all; assimilation of another is spiritual adultery and self-betrayal. Rather, simply understand Krishna to learn the laws of flowering and spontaneity, then let that insight ignite your own unique manifestation. Be yourself utterly—like Meera or Chaitanya—loving, inspired, and dancing your dance, not wearing Krishna as a borrowed personality.
Don’t try to become Krishna; learn from him and let that inspire you to bloom as your own true self.
Why this matters practically
- Avoids self-betrayal by imitation
- Turns inspiration into authentic growth
- Encourages spontaneous, joyful living
