Translated Text:

I ask this:
How does a munificent person,
who strives for promoting
the power of house, district, or land
with righteousness,
becomes, Wise Lord, like You,
and by what deeds?

Commentary:

Who but the person who promotes house, district or land—uniting units of human society—with his and her righteous acts, grows into a godlike being? Again an answering question!

Pondering Point:

“Promotion of human society makes one divine.”


ZARATHUSHTRIAN ASSEMBLY

Zarathushtrian Assembly was founded by a group of visionary Zoroastrians in 1990 to create a progressive platform for people of all backgrounds, regardless of current religious belief, world view, national origin, ethnicity, or personal interpretation of Zoroastrianism, to study the philosophy and teachings of Zoroaster (Zarathushtra), as taught in the Gathas (his thought-provoking mantras).
