Does truth always prevail?

outcome
"Truth is indestructible; you can kill the truth-teller, but you can never kill the truth."
According to Osho, truth always prevails—but not by majority vote or immediately. Truth is intrinsically individual, living, and indestructible; you can kill the truth-teller, never the truth. Lies are collective, decorated and dead; they burden and enslave, and collapse when seen clearly. Though power protects falsehoods, truth, being the very essence of life, inevitably burns through the jungle of lies, even if postponed for centuries.
Truth is like a living fire: people may cover it with piles of dead leaves (lies), but sooner or later it burns through.
