Song 9.11 (Yasna 44.11)
Transliterated Text:
tat thwâ peresâ eresh môi vaocâ ahurâ kathâ tęńg â vîjęmyât âramaitish ýaęibyô mazdâ thwôi vashyetę daęnâ azęm tôi âish pouruyô fravôivîdę vîspęńg anyęńg manyęush spasyâ dvaęshanghâ.
Translated Text:
This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord. How does serenity come to those to whom, Wise One, Your religion is taught? I recognize You to be the beginning. All others I consider [unacceptable].
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra asks this to be sure if serenity and tranquility come to those who have learned the best religion, the one which promotes the living world. Considering all the points mentioned in the preceding stanzas of this song, Zarathushtra recognizes Mazda, the Super-Intellect, to be the beginning; all other conceptions of god/gods are seen by him as strong mental antagonism.
Pondering Point:
“The best religion brings peace, serenity, and tranquility in all aspects of life.”
