thwê â gêush tashâ as xratûsh
manyêush mazdâ ahurâ
hyat ah'yâi dadå pathãm

ýê vâ nôit anghat vâstryô.

Translated Text:

I also realized, Wise Lord,
that serenity is Yours,
and O Creator of the Living World,
that wisdom of mind is Yours,
which has given the world the choice
to go either to a settled person, or to the one who is not.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra further realizes that Mazda created our living world. He also created serenity and good mind, two principles that enable the world to make a wise decision to choose between the people who are usefully settled and those who wander in vain.

Pondering Point:

“A state of freedom, a serene atmosphere, and wisdom help one to make the right choices.”
