Translated Text:
Moreover, may the best of blessings
come to the person who gives blessings to others.
Wise One, may his knowledge grow
throughout the days of his long life of joy,
through Your most progressive mentality,
the wondrous wisdom of good mind
which You created by means of righteousness.
Commentary:
Zarathushtra’s guiding benediction continues: The best blessings go to the very person who blesses others. The blessings are the knowledge one imparts to others. Teaching increases knowledge and one enjoys the long days of life. This increasing knowledge is a divine gift through the progressive mentality which is but the super-wisdom of good mind, a faculty created by Mazda through the Universal Law of Precision.
Pondering Point:
“Teaching increases knowledge and prolongs a joyful life.”
