Song 12.2 (Yasna 47.2)

“The Progressive Mentality provides us the substance and capability to perceive God and comprehend the divine precision in existence.”

He receives the best from the most progressive mentality who speaks words of good mind with his tongue, and performs, with his own hands, deeds of serenity because he has one perception: the Wise One is the creator of righteousness.

Song 12.4 (Yasna 47.4)

“As long as we follow the path of righteousness, we will benefit from the progressive mentality, regardless of our material wealth.”

Wise One, it is the wrongful, not the righteous, who continue to keep away from this progressive mentality. A person of very small means can be kind to a righteous person, and a person of great strength can be bad to the wrongful.

Song 12.5 (Yasna 47.5)

“The Progressive Mentality provides the best to the righteous, yet the deceitful care little for that which is truly best.”

Wise God, it is through this progressive mentality that You have promised the righteous what indeed is best. But the wrongful shares little from Your love, because he lives by the actions of his evil mind.

Wise God, You grant good to both these parties through the progressive mentality by means of fire -- light, warmth and energy - because with the growth of serenity and righteousness, it shall convert many a seeker.

View Song
Song 13.1 (Yasna 48.1)

“Those facts and truths which would improve the world, or save it from harm, are proclaimed to be delusions by those who benefit from the ignorance of humanity.”

If, after this, one conquers wrong through righteousness, because one reaches what is always said to be delusions by the false gods and their men, one shall, by these gains, increase in Your glorification, God.

Song 13.2 (Yasna 48.2)

“In the end, the righteous will overcome the deceitful, the wise know this as the good shaping of existence.”

Lord, tell me since You know well. What shall henceforth my struggle bring for me and my men? Shall the righteous, Wise One, conquer the wrongful? Because this, indeed, is known to be the good form of life.
