Transliterated Text:

speñtem at thwâ mazdâ mêñghî ahurâ
hyat mâ vohû pairî-jasat mananghâ
hyat xshmâ uxdhâish dîdainghê paourvîm
sâdrâ-môi sãs mashyaêshû zarazdâitish
tat verezyeidyâi hyat môi mraotâ vahishtem.

Translated Text:

I realized You, Wise Lord, to be progressive
when I was encircled through good mind,
and when I first learned from Your words
that it would be difficult for me to teach people
the devotion to practice what You told me is the best.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra realizes Mazda to be progressive when enlightenment encircles him through his own good mind. He comprehends the divine message and also realizes that it would be difficult to teach people who are so used to their old-age cultic beliefs to accept and practice what Zarathushtra has learned to be the best religion.

Pondering Point:

“Blind faith bars one from seeing the light of truth. So, enlighten the world.”
