Transliterated Text:

Translated Text:

Indeed this action of Bendva has made me anxious
because the wrongful doctrine certainly prevents one from righteousness.
Neither has he ever held the progressive serenity to be his,
nor has he ever consulted good mind, Wise One.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra wants to lead Bendva to illumination, but that man does not want it. He continues with his wrongful teachings and his opposition to Zarathushtra as this agitated agitator is never stable and peaceful. He never thinks good—He is out of mind indeed! What should one do with an obstinate opposition? The thought causes Zarathushtra to reflect.

Pondering Point:

“A person mislead into deceit and evil will never care for peace, progress, or the Good Mind.”
