What is the crux of Osho's teachings?

OSHO

We say osho was a guru, philosopher, teacher, thinker, etc. but he was none of these. He is a knower. He knows what is to be known. We call it truth but he never claimed that what he says is truth, instead he said that the moment you put truth into words it becomes a lie. Truth is an experience that can only be felt not fact that can be stated. The fact is that he underwent this experience but the experience remains an experience and only an experience.

He further adds that such experience is beyond words and to describe in words which words are not capable of describing is nothing less then making a false statement. Osho underwent this experience of truth and he talked about it. We call it his teachings but we must understand if I known how an apple taste and with all possible means I am trying to tell you how it taste then its not teaching you how an apple taste how can I teach you to taste an apple!! It will taste as it taste, its sharing, Sharing the feel of the apple nothing more nothing less.

He did not teach he shared and the only aim of this sharing was to make as see that we are missing something. Something that he did not miss we may call it truth its an attractive word after all but I prefer calling it something as I do not know what it is that he did not miss and I am and that is it, that's the crux of his teaching if you want to call it teaching. He wanted us to know that there is something to be known far important and basic to any other thing that is.

The crux of his teaching was to generate the want to know, to give humans their true nature back that is to be curious, curious about what? Well this is for us to find out as what is to be known is something that can not be conveyed can only be felt.

If I am wrong or I lack somewhere please let me know, it becomes easier to know what is to be known when you know what is not to be known.
