Song 4.5 (Yasna 31.5)
Transliterated Text:
tat môi vîcidyâi vaocâ hyat môi ashâ dâtâ vahyô vîduyê vohû mananghâ mêñcâ daidyâi ýehyâ-mâ ereshish tâcît mazdâ ahurâ ýâ nôit vâ anghat anghaitî vâ.
Translated Text:
Speak to me so that I can discern what has been made better with righteousness, and know and realize through good mind what has been granted to me as a seer. Also, Wise God, the things that will and will not happen.
Summary Substance:
Already enlightened, Zarathushtra continues to seek more divine guidance to fully realize his part as a seer determined to lead the living. He wants enough knowledge and experience to be able to foresee the future—possibilities and impossibilities.
Pondering Point:
“Increased enlightenment is necessary to wisely foresee the potential outcomes of future events and to know what to embark on and what to avoid.”
