Translated Text:
This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord.
In order to bear Your directives in mind, Wise One,
the words which I ask through good mind
and the facts about life to be correctly
understood through righteousness are:
What shall my soul ultimately attain?
Commentary:
Zarathushtra wants to precisely carry out the principles of life he has realized through his good mind and righteousness so that his soul finally attains its goal—to be godlike (see the following answering question).
Pondering Point:
“The principles that guide us through a righteous life will ultimately result in the final goal of fulfillment.”
