Translated Text:
This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord.
Are the things I speak forth indeed true?
Does serenity, by its actions, promote righteousness?
For whom has dominion been arranged through good mind?
For whom did You create the fruitful, joy-bringing world?
Commentary:
Zarathushtra’s questions are now focused on a new angle. He wants to be sure that his realizations are true. Does peace and stability promote a righteous environment? Who are entitled to benefit from a dominion established by the wise based on sound knowledge? For whom is the living world which, through good thoughts, words, and deeds, bears fruit and brings happiness, been created? The answer: We human beings.
Pondering Point:
“True happiness is the outcome of a mindful, positive, joyous, wise, and orderly way of life.
