Song 2.1 (Yasna 29.1)

Transliterated Text:

xshmaibyâ gêush urvâ gerezhdâ kahmâi mâ thwarôzhdûm kê mâ tashat â mâ aêshemô hazascâ remô âhishâyâ dereshcâ tevishcâ nôit môi vâstâ xshmat anyô athâ môi sãstâ vohû vâstryâ.

Translated Text:

The Soul of the Living World lamented to You: Why did You create me? Who fashioned me this way? I am oppressed by fury, rapine, outrage, and aggression. I have no one to rehabilitate me other than You. Lead me to true civilization.

Summary Substance:

Driven to desperation by rage and rapine, the Living World of ours questions the reason she was created. Knowing that the Creator alone can free her from the horrifying distress and injustice, she turns to Lord Wisdom for help.

Pondering Point:

“When feeling desperate, don't lose hope. Turn to Lord Wisdom for guidance.”

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).
