Song 9.1 (Yasna 44.1)
Transliterated Text:
tat thwâ peresâ eresh-môi vaocâ ahurâ, nemanghô â ýathâ nemê xshmâvatô mazdâ fryâi thwâvãs sah'yât mavaitê at nê ashâ fryâ dazdyâi hâkurenâ ýathâ-nê â vohû jimat mananghâ.
Translated Text:
This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord. How shall I reverently pay [homage to You]? Teach this to a friend like me, Wise One. Let us all be given help, through loving righteousness, so that it comes to us through good mind.
Summary Substance:
We start on another master piece of a song by Zarathushtra on enlightenment through *meditating* questions that turn into answers! In the first stanza, he asks as to how he should pay his reverence and homage to Ahura—“The Being”. He wants Mazda to teach a friend like Zarathushtra; he wishes for help through the Universal Law which is made of “loving” precision, the help comes only when one uses his or her good mind. The answer he recieves is that this very stanza is the best loving homage one can pay! No rule for running rituals, no directive for dragging dramas.
Pondering Point:
“Commune with Lord Wisdom by meditation and consult the Good Mind for the right answers.”
