Translated Text:

To him who, through progressive mentality, performs his duties best
in thoughts, words, and deeds in accordance with righteousness,
the Wise Lord grants wholeness and immortality
through sovereignty and serenity.

Commentary:

The progressive mentality is the creative and promotive faculty endowed in our mind by Mazda Ahura, the Super-Intellect Being. It makes us renovate and promote our environment, our world. One, who performs his duties in the best righteous manner, is granted wholeness, perfection, immortality, and eternity through their sovereignty, independence, serenity and tranquility.

Pondering Point:

“The Progressive Mentality (Spenta Mainyu) leads to Perfection and Immortality.”
