Song 3.1 (Yasna 30.1)
Transliterated Text:
at tâ vaxshyâ isheñtô ýâ mazdâthâ hyatcît vîdushê staotâcâ ahurâi ýesnyâcâ vanghêush mananghô humãzdrâ ashâ ýecâ ýâ raocêbîsh daresatâ urvâzâ.
Translated Text:
Now I shall speak to those who wish to hear of the two principles, which are of importance even to the wise. I shall also, with reverence for good mind and the good consideration of righteousness, have praises for the Lord, so that you may see brilliant happiness.
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra opens a new chapter in his Divine Doctrine—Good and Evil, two important principles that have even perplexed the wise. To understand the problem, he keeps in view good mind and the approach to the problem through the Universal Law of Righteousness, of precision—two important points to solve the problem. And as usual, he has his praises for God, the guide who leads us by means of our good mind and righteousness to radiant happiness.
Pondering Point:
“The perplexing duality of Good and Evil—the two ever-posing forces in life—can be realized by understanding the Universal Law of Righteousness that governs precise regulation of all matters physical and spiritual.”
