Song 11.18 (Yasna 46.18)
Transliterated Text:
ýê maibyâ ýaosh ahmâi ascît vahishtâ mah'yå ishtôish vohû côishem mananghâ ãstêñg ahmâi ýê nå ãstâi daidîtâ mazdâ ashâ xshmâkem vârem xshnaoshemnô tat môi xratêush mananghascâ vîcithem.
Translated Text:
Whoever is united with me, I promise him the best through good mind, my only riches. But I oppose him who places himself in opposition to us. Wise One, I want to please You, because this is the discernment of my intellect and mind.
Summary Substance:
Joining Zarathushtra in the Fellowship brings one the best in life by being guided by one’s enlightened good mind. This is the only reward he can promise mankind. But those who oppose the Fellowship, are opposed by Zarathushtra. No compromise. It only encourages the wrongful. Zarathushtra wants to please Mazda, that is what his wisdom leads him to, and pleasing God, as stated in the first stanza of the Gathas (Song 1.1) is to please and promote the living world.
Pondering Point:
“Treat the good people in your life with abundant joy but do not hesitate to oppose those who wish you harm.”
