सत्यमेव जयते नानृतम् सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः । येनाक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्यात्मकामो यत्र तत् सत्यस्य परमं निधानं ॥ ( मुण्डक-उपनिषद 3.1.6)

सत्य की ही विजय होती है, असत्य की नहीं। सत्य से ही वह (देवयान) मार्ग परिपूर्ण है, जिसके द्वारा कामना रहित ऋषिगण, जहां सत्य का श्रेष्ठ भण्डार (परम आनंद) है, उस (परमपद) को प्राप्त करते हैं।

Truth alone triumphs; not falsehood. Through truth the divine path is spread out by which the sages whose desires have been completely fulfilled, reach to where is that supreme treasure of Truth.

samiti's comment : "ऐसा नहीं है की ये प्रतीकात्मकता मात्र है .. जिस रूप में आप उन्हें स्वीकार करते है .. आपके लिए वे उसी रूप में सदैव सर्वत्र रहते है .. ये उनका सामर्थ्य एवं उनकी कृपालुता है .. महादेव सदैव है, सर्वत्र है. .... आपके इष्ट देवता ही ईश्वर है और ईश्वर ही आपके इष्ट देवता है .. आप उन्हें किसी भी रूप में भजिये, किसी भी नाम से पुकारिए, वे स्वीकार कर लेते है  ... उनको atleast इतनी understanding तो है ही, की ये मेरे बदले किसी और को नहीं पूजता, मुझे ही address करता है - इतना भी न माना तो उन्हें माना ही क्या ... सभी उपासनाओ को वे स्वीकार करते है, भक्त के भाव के अनुरूप लीला भी करते हैं, ये उनकी दयालुता और उदारता है .. भक्त-अभक्त को कर्म  का फल निश्चित मिलता है, ये उनका न्याय है .. दंड से दोष को निराकृत कर आनंद प्राप्ति के असंख्य अवसर देना, यही उनकी सबसे बड़ी कृपा है" ---  श्री गुरूजी के प्रवचनों से.

whoever is an unadulterated devotee of Lord Krishna never perishes or is ever vanquished ...


Here Lord Krishna gives encouragement to Arjuna to boldly declare His statements with certitude that whoever is an unadulterated devotee of Lord Krishna never perishes or is ever vanquished. 
भगवान की प्रतिज्ञा
भगवान की प्रतिज्ञा है कि जो एक बार कह देता है कि मै तुम्हारा हूँ, उसे वे अभय प्रदान कर देते है ! फिर उसे काल से, कर्म से, किसी से भी भय नही लगता !
कौन्तेय प्रति जानीहि न मे भक्तः प्रणश्यति । 9-31
हे कौन्तेय ! तुम यह निश्चित जान लो की मेरे भक्त का कभी पतन नहीं होता ।
