Song 4.9 (Yasna 31.9)
Transliterated Text:
thwôi as ârmaitîsh thwê â gêush tashâ as xratûsh manyêush mazdâ ahurâ hyat ah'yâi dadå pathãm vâstryât vâ âitê ýê vâ nôit anghat vâstryô.
Translated Text:
I also realized, Wise Lord, that serenity is Yours, and O Creator of the Living World, that wisdom of mind is Yours, which has given the world the choice to go either to a settled person, or to the one who is not.
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra further realizes that Mazda created our living world. He also created serenity and good mind, two principles that enable the world to make a wise decision to choose between the people who are usefully settled and those who wander in vain.
Pondering Point:
“A state of freedom, a serene atmosphere, and wisdom help one to make the right choices.”
