Will an intellectual and fact-based analysis of Mahavira’s life be acceptable to society?

definition
"Truth has its own life; it will eventually be accepted, while untruth survives only by borrowed acceptance."
According to Osho, society’s acceptance is irrelevant: society preserves the status quo and initially rejects truth. Offer whatever is intelligent, scientific, factual, and essential; if it is truth, rejection will eventually collapse and acceptance will come—in its own time. If it is untrue, rejection should prevail. Truth has its own life; untruth survives only by borrowed acceptance.
Don’t worry if people approve; if your analysis is truly factual and wise, it may be rejected now but truth is accepted in the end.
Why this matters practically
- Gives courage to speak and research truth without chasing approval.
- Shifts focus to rigor: test ideas by evidence and essence, not applause.
- Builds patience: real insights often need time before society understands.
