The truth indeed has never been preached by the Buddha, seeing that one has to realize it within oneself.

Spiritual Prayer leads us to embrace an ever-present truth, even without having to be aware that truth is present, for truth is not more or less present, or dependent on being recognized by anyone. This is a most natural way of living, devoid of the artificiality of much associated with those who think they have the truth, can teach the truth, can know the truth with their little minds, and must convert others to the truth - which is always a version of truth, at best, not truth. There is no my truth or your truth or our truth. Admitting that one cannot know the truth is not ignorance, but knowledge, while thinking that thoughts about the truth is knowing truth is ignorance.
