Translated Text:
This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord.
How shall I, Wise One, carry the invocation from You,
in Your company,
so that my voice becomes forceful
and ultimately guides to wholeness and immortality
in accordance with the thought-provoking message
which is a gain from righteousness.
Commentary:
The Gathas are simultaneously prayers to God and guidance to mankind. Here Zarathushtra wants to make sure how his Songs—the Thought-provoking Message—resound in increasing force to lead humanity to wholeness and immortality, blissful perfection and eternity.
Pondering Point:
"The thought provoking messages of the Gathas can guide humanity to wholeness and bliss"
