Song 5.5 (Yasna 32.5)
Transliterated Text:
tâ debenaotâ mashîm hujyâtôish ameretâtascâ hyat vå akâ mananghâ ýêñg daêvêñg akascâ mainyush akâ shyaothanem vacanghâ ýâ fracinas dregvañtem xshayô.
Translated Text:
Thus you have deprived mankind of good life and immortality. But in fact, you, who are but deceptive gods, have deceived yourselves with your evil mentality, deed, and speech by providing the wrongful with power.
Summary Substance:
Belief in false gods has misguided human beings not to lead a good life and therefore not to attain immortality. But this very action is self-defeating because when these beliefs are translated into evil thoughts, words, and deeds, the result is chaos caused by the wrong persons in power.
Pondering Point:
“False beliefs bring chaos.”
