Transliterated Text:

atcâ hyat tâ hêm mainyû
jasaêtem paourvîm dazdê
gaêmcâ ajyâitîmcâ
ýathâcâ anghat apêmem anghush
acishtô dregvatãm
at ashâunê vahishtem manô.

Translated Text:

Now, when the two mentalities
first got together,
they created "life" and "not-living."
Until the end of existence,
the worst mind shall be for the wrongful,
and the best mind shall be for the righteous.

Commentary:

When the two mentalities begin to function, the good creates a fulfilling life but the other degrades it into a wretched living. It makes one live without enjoying life. An evil mind turns one to think, talk and do wrong, and grow worse. A brilliant mind builds one into a righteous person. This is the Universal Law. Only a return to the better mentality can save one.

Pondering Point:

“Life is for constructive and joyful living and not for wanton wasting. Wrong choices lead to ever-compounding misery for oneself and for others, whereas the right choices will be continuously rewarding.”
