Translated Text:

The person who belongs to progressive serenity,
promotes righteousness
with his intellect, words, deeds, and conscience.
The Wise Lord grants him
dominion through good mind.
I too shall pray for such a good reward.

Commentary:

In order to emphasize the point of the preceding stanza, Zarathushtra paraphrases his statement: A person who enjoys progressive serenity and increasing tranquility promotes precision and righteousness with his thoughts, words, deeds, and, above all, with his conscience; he acquires sovereignty and self-reliance through his good mind. It is for such a noble cause that Zarathushtra offers his prayers.

Pondering Point:

“Enjoy peace and possession of sound mind and body, and promote the living world with good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.”

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).
