Transliterated Text:

vaocâ môi ýâ tvêm vîdvå ahurâ
parâ hyat mâ ýâ mêñg perethâ jimaitî
kat ashavâ mazdâ vêñghat dregvañtem
hâ zî anghêush vanguhî vistâ âkeretish.

Translated Text:

Lord, tell me since You know well.
What shall henceforth my struggle bring for me and my men?
Shall the righteous, Wise One, conquer the wrongful?
Because this, indeed, is known to be the good form of life.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra again poetically puts forth questions which are but their own answers. God knows best; therefore, he wants to know the result of efforts put by him and his companions to eradicate wrong. Will they be successful? Of course, because the struggle will bring good life to mankind.

Pondering Point:

“In the end, the righteous will overcome the deceitful, the wise know this as the good shaping of existence.”

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).
