Translated Text:
He is Who thought first
that the lights emanate with bliss.
He is, through His wisdom,
which holds the best mind,
the creator of righteousness.
Wise Lord, stimulate my mind through Your creative mentality,
because so far it has remained the same.
Commentary:
God created the universe, blended with light and bliss, with wisdom. He is the creator of the Universal Law based on the best wisdom, the progressive mentality. Zarathushtra wants the divine mentality to stimulate his mind, a mind which had remained inactive.
Pondering Point:
“One’s mind should never stagnate. The mind must be continually provoked to progress, to innovate, and to create.”
