Transliterated Text:

tat thwâ peresâ eresh-môi vaocâ ahurâ,
kathâ anghêush vahishtahyâ paourvîm
kâthê sûidyâi ýê-î dâyât paitishât
hvô zî ashâ speñtô irixtem vîspôibyô
hârô mainyû ahûmbish urvathô mazdâ.

Translated Text:

This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord.
How shall one who, from the very beginning,
seeks the best life, prosper?
Indeed, such a person is, through righteousness,
a great promoter and a treasure for all.
He is, Wise One, a guardian, a mental life-healer, and a friend.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra wants to be fully enlightened; so, he asks how can a person become prosperous just because he is seeking it, the answer being ‘just because he is seeking’. It is such a prosperous person who understands the value of promoting others through righteousness. He is, therefore, of great value to all; he is a guardian, a friend and one who improves life through his mental healing and psychological counseling.

Pondering Point:

“Gaining prosperity comes from the desire to reach it through righteousness and paying it forward to others.”
