Song 10.11 (Yasna 45.11)
Transliterated Text:
ýastâ daêvêñg aparô mashyãscâ tarê-mãstâ ýôi îm tarê-manyañtâ anyêñg ahmât ýê hôi arêm manyâtâ saoshyañtô dêñg patôish speñtâ daênâ urvathô barâtâ patâ vâ mazdâ ahurâ.
Translated Text:
He who denies the false gods and their men, just as they deny him, and unlike others, acknowledges Him in good spirit, is, through his progressive conscience, the beneficent and master of house, rather a friend, brother, and father, O Wise God.
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra is clear regarding Mazda Ahura: One has to categorically deny false gods. One has to completely make one’s mind to understand, and that, in good spirit, has to understand the Being, the Essence, that Zarathushtra is describing as the Super-Intellect. Such a person, because of their progressive conscience, progressive insight, becomes a benefactor, a leader and, in fact, a friend, brother/sister, and parent to the community. (Note: words for brother and father, when used in neuter gender stands for both sexes in Avesta and Sanskrit).
Pondering Point:
“No matter who we are in life -- friend, brother, father, or sister--, we can make the world progress by emulating Ahura Mazda, the divine creator of existence”
