Song 8.7 (Yasna 43.7)
Transliterated Text:
speñtem at thwâ mazdâ mêñghî ahurâ hyat mâ vohû pairî-jasat mananghâ peresatcâ mâ, cish ahî kahyâ ahî kathâ ayârê daxshârâ ferasayâi dîshâ aibî thwâhû gaêthâhû tanushicâ.
Translated Text:
I realized You, God Wise, to be progressive when I was encircled by it (enlightenment) through good mind, and it asked: "Who are you? To whom do you belong? How would you, in these days of questioning, explain the directives to the living and to yourself?"
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra’s experience of enlightenment now turns himself. He realizes Mazda to be progressive when enlightenment encircles him through his own good mind and asks, “Who are you? Whom do you belong to? You stand questioning and do not have all the answers yet. How would you explain what the directives are, what the entire message is—to yourself and to others?” It makes him reflect more.
Pondering Point:
“Understand yourself first to fully realize God and the divine purpose.”
