Song 8.8 (Yasna 43.8)

Transliterated Text:

at hôi aojî zarathushtrô paourvîm haithyô dvaêshå hyat isôyâ dregvâitê at ashâunê rafenô xyêm aojôñghvat hyat âbûshtîsh vasase xshathrahyâ dyâ ýavat â thwâ mazdâ stâumî ufyâcâ!

Translated Text:

Then I said to it first: "I am Zarathushtra. I am, as far as I can be, a true opponent of the wrongful, and a strong supporter of the righteous. In order to establish the adorations of the Ruler-at-will, I shall continue to praise and glorify You, Wise One.

Summary Substance:

In reply to the enlightenment, Zarathushtra dedicates himself to, as far as he can, oppose the wrongful people and strongly support the righteous persons. In addition, he dedicates himself to continue to weave songs of praise to Mazda, who rules at will, songs which are simultaneously guidance for mankind.

Pondering Point:

“Self-realization means dedication to opposing wrong and helping right.”

ZARATHUSHTRIAN ASSEMBLY

Zarathushtrian Assembly was founded by a group of visionary Zoroastrians in 1990 to create a progressive platform for people of all backgrounds, regardless of current religious belief, world view, national origin, ethnicity, or personal interpretation of Zoroastrianism, to study the philosophy and teachings of Zoroaster (Zarathushtra), as taught in the Gathas (his thought-provoking mantras).
