What is the nature of contradictions in teachings?

According to Osho, so‑called contradictions in religious teachings arise because truth is unique, living, and nondual: it cannot be mechanically repeated or forced into either/or logic. A master responds freshly to the moment, uniting apparent opposites; what seems inconsistent on the surface hides a deeper, contextual coherence that reflects life’s complementary polarities.

It only looks contradictory because a wise teacher speaks to each moment, holding opposites together—like day and night being parts of one sky.
