Song 3.3 (Yasna 30.3) |
“It is the human mind that creates good thoughts, words and deeds– and the opposites thereof; Good begets good, evil begets evil based on the choices one makes.”Now, the two foremost mentalities,
known to be imaginary twins,
are the better and the bad
in thoughts, words, and deeds.
Of these the beneficent choose correctly,
but not so the maleficent.

Song 3.4 (Yasna 30.4) |
“Life is for constructive and joyful living and not for wanton wasting. Wrong choices lead to ever-compounding misery for oneself and for others, whereas the right choices will be continuously rewarding.”Now, when the two mentalities
first got together,
they created "life" and "not-living."
Until the end of existence,
the worst mind shall be for the wrongful,
and the best mind shall be for the righteous.

Song 3.5 (Yasna 30.5) |
“The wrongful person will waver in life and suffer the consequences of poor choices. But the ethical person will savor the joy of life in its true essence.”Of these two mentalities,
the wrongful mentality chose worst actions,
and the most progressive mentality,
as steadfast as rock, chose righteousness.
Therefore, those who would please the Wise God,
may do so by choosing true actions.

Song 3.6 (Yasna 30.6) |
“Falsehood misguides. Misguidance results in frustration, fury, brute force, and destruction.”Between these two,
the seekers of false gods did not decide correctly,
because delusion came to them in their deliberations.
Therefore, they chose the worst mind,
rushed in wrath,
and afflicted the human existence.

Song 3.7 (Yasna 30.7) |
“Enduring hard choices on the path to righteousness will eventually lead to communion with God.”But to the person who chooses correctly,
comes endurance of body
and steadfast serenity
through strength, good mind, and righteousness.
Of all these, such a person shall be Yours,
because he has come fully out of the fiery test.

Song 3.8 (Yasna 30.8) |
“There is no eternal punishment for wrongdoing when one realizes the mistake and understands the consequences of wrong actions of the past. It only requires one to submit to rehabilitation by way of choosing the right path.”And when the sinners undergo their punishment,
then, O Wise One, the dominion will be realized
for them through good mind.
God, then they shall be taught
how to deliver the wrong into the hands of righteousness.

Song 3.9 (Yasna 30.9) |
“True and everlasting fulfillment and happiness are achieved by continuous renovation, which is made possible through cooperation with all the wise masters of the world.”And may we be among those
who make this life fresh!
You, lords of wisdom,
who bring happiness through righteousness,
come, let us be single-minded
in the realm of inner intellect.

Song 3.10 (Yasna 30.10) |
“To live rightly with Wisdom in the domain of the good mind and wisdom, refresh life by undoing wrongs and removing the wrongdoers.”Then, indeed, the power of wrong
shall be shattered.
Then those who strive with good name
shall immediately be united
in the good abode of good mind
and righteousness of the Wise One.

Song 3.11 (Yasna 30.11) |
“You reap what you sow: ‘Good begets good’, ‘Evil begets evil’, and selfless good deeds bring joy to oneself and to others.”If you understand the two principles
of prosperity and adversity
established by the Wise One,
which are a long suffering for the wrongful
and a lasting good for the righteous;
you shall, then, enjoy radiant happiness.
