Song 11.8 (Yasna 46.8)
Transliterated Text:
ýê vâ môi ýå gaêthå dazdê aênanghê nôit ahyâ mâ âthrish shyaothanâish frôsyât paityaoget tâ ahmâi jasôit dvaêshanghâ tanvêm â ýâ îm hujyâtôish pâyât nôit duzhjyâtôish kâcît mazdâ dvaêshanghâ.
Translated Text:
The person who undertakes to harm my people shall not have his fiery actions reach me. In fact, they shall recoil with his hatred to him, and shall keep him far from a good way of life. Wise One, hatred does not save one from a bad way of life.
Summary Substance:
With the Divine Fire which gives light, warmth, and strength to our spirit, and the Good Mind which makes us think clearly, one can be sure that those who come to harm the righteous will fail in their attempts… Their hatred recoils and they suffer from it. Those filled with hatred simply cannot enjoy a good life.
Pondering Point:
“Those who have deceived themselves into harming others live a life of lies and destruction; their own hatred will drive them to extinction.”
