Song 8.4 (Yasna 43.4)

Translated Text:
Wise One, I realize You to be powerful and progressive because You help with Your own hand. You give rewards to both the wrongful and the righteous by means of the warmth of Your fire which is mighty through righteousness, and through which strength of good mind comes to me.
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra realizes Mazda, Super-Intellect, to be powerful and progressive when he finds God directly helping both the wrongful and the righteous. He realizes that the divine help comes through loving enlightenment, firmly based on the Universal Law of Precision—the very enlightenment that gives strength to Zarathushtra through his good mind, good thinking.
Pondering Point:
“The fire of Ahura Mazda, the energy embedded in all existence, is the instrument by which he enacts his will.”
