Translated Text:

And You said: "You have come to understand righteousness,
and have not paid attention to disobedience."
I would, therefore, set myself so that revelation comes to me
in the company of a splendid reward,
and rewarding both factions (good and bad) with gain.

Commentary:

With enlightenment, Zarathushtra realizes that he has understood righteousness and ignored things worthy of not listening to. He prepares himself to be in constant communion so that he obtains what he wants—a wonderful reward of guiding both the righteous and the wrongful to gain the final goal.

Pondering Point:

“Full attention to the divine voice guides one to guide others.”
