Truth alone triumphs, not falsehood. By truth is laid out the path of the gods, by which the sages, their desires fulfilled, ascend to where the supreme treasure of truth is.
सत्यमेव जयते नानृतं (जयति) सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः । येनाक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्याप्तकामा यत्र तत्सत्यस्य परमं निधानम् ॥ ६॥
The sages, united with pure reason, renounce the results of their actions and, liberated from the cycle of birth, they attain a state of bliss.
So long as this soul does not know its real destination while dwelling in the body, it is not going to be liberated from the cycle of births and deaths. There is only one way to get rid of this wandering and that is to realise God while the human body is still there.
