According to Osho, Jesus used parables to baffle the rational mind so listeners must supply the conclusion themselves. Because the ultimate is ineffable, it can only be indicated, not stated. Parables leave creative gaps, work like puzzles, provoke meditation and imagination, and through that challenge raise you beyond the mind—enabling inner growth and direct insight.
He told puzzling stories so you’d think for yourself and find the truth inside, not just copy an answer.
