Translated Text:

Since it is not easy for the soul
to find the better course,
I, whom the Wise Lord knows,
come to you all as the leader of the two parties,
so that we may all live
in accordance with righteousness.

Commentary:

Along with the wisdom to choose, one needs direction. Zarathushtra, who has discovered the Wise Lord, Mazda Ahura, and the Principles of Life, offers to lead both the wrongful and the rightful to live a righteous life.

Pondering Point:

“A novice, although wise, may still benefit from sound guidance. Zarathushtra's divine experience provides that advantage to any person who desires to receive his message.”

ZARATHUSHTRIAN ASSEMBLY

Zarathushtrian Assembly was founded by a group of visionary Zoroastrians in 1990 to create a progressive platform for people of all backgrounds, regardless of current religious belief, world view, national origin, ethnicity, or personal interpretation of Zoroastrianism, to study the philosophy and teachings of Zoroaster (Zarathushtra), as taught in the Gathas (his thought-provoking mantras).
