Translated Text:
This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord. Who fashioned precious serenity with dominion? Who made the child lovingly attentive to the parent? It is by these questions, Wise One, that I am able to recognize You as the Creator of all by Your progressive mind.
Summary Substance:
Zarathushtra wants to know who made valuable serenity and stability and at the same time order and discipline. Who made the child love and at the same time learn from the parent? It is such continuous queries which lead Zarathushtra to recognize God as the Creator of the universe through the divine mental faculty of progress and promotion.
Pondering Point:
“Peace and order in the world and familial love are manifestations of the divine progressive mentality.”
