Krishna by Osho5/11/2023 Similarly he is quite at home among snakes and reptiles. Even when he claims to be the best among the cows he remains a cow. Even when he claims to be the Airavat among elephants, he remains nonetheless an elephant. While he declares himself to be the best among different classes of creatures, he does not distinguish between one class and another. And secondly – and this is more significant – he finds his peers even among the lowliest of creatures like cows and horses.īoth things should be taken together. And there are two beautiful aspects to it.įirstly, Krishna declares himself to be the best among all things – of all the seasons he is the spring, of all the cows he is the Kamdhenu, of all the elephants he is the Airavat. DOES IT MEAN THAT HE IS TRYING TO DECLARE HIMSELF TO BE THE BEST AND THE GREATEST IN ALL CREATION? DOES IT ALSO MEAN THAT HE REFUSES TO REPRESENT ALL THAT IS LOWLY AND BASE? WHY DOES HE EXCLUDE THE MEANEST OF US ALL? AND WHERE DOES THE MEANEST BELONG? QUESTIONER: KRISHNA, IN CHAPTER TEN OF THE GEETA DESCRIBES HIMSELF TO BE THE GANGES AMONG THE RIVERS, THE SPRING AMONG THE SEASONS, THE LION AMONG THE BEASTS, THE GARUDA OR EAGLE AMONG THE BIRDS, THE AIRAVAT AMONG THE ELEPHANTS, THE KAMDHENU AMONG THE COWS, VASUKI AMONG THE SNAKES, AND SO ON. Here is something beautiful from Osho on Krishna’s words in the Gita about his being the best in everything.
