Truth Alone Triumphs
Truth alone triumphs, not falsehood. By truth the high path is opened, and the sages who have fulfilled their longing walk it to truth's deepest treasure-house.
Though falsehood seems to lead for now, do I keep faith that truth in the end makes the road?
📝Reflection
This verse, 'truth alone triumphs,' became an old motto of India. But it is no naive claim that truth always wins easily. For now falsehood seems to lead and move fast; truth is slow and often takes a loss. Even so, on the long scale of time only truth makes a road — for what is built on falsehood collapses one day under its own weight. It stands where scripture says we reap what we sow. The courage to choose not the win before our eyes but what remains in the end — that slow honesty finally becomes the firmest road.
