Transliterated Text:

ýê môi ashât haithîm hacâ vareshaitî
zarathushtrâi hyat vasnâ ferashôtemem
ahmâi mîzhdem haneñtê parâhûm
manê vistâish mat vîspâish gâvâ azî
tâcît môi sãs tvêm mazdâ vaêdishtô.

Translated Text:

Whoever truly accomplishes through righteousness
the complete renovation of life for me, Zarathushtra,
as is the will of the Lord, deserves the desired future-life
in a fruitful living world as a reward.
This is what You, the most-knowing Wise One, have taught me.

Commentary:

The mission, earlier endangered by priests and princes, is satisfactorily successful. The number of Zarathushtra’s companions is swelling. He wants them to undergo a complete change, leave superstitions, leave prescriptive bonds that check progress, renovate life, and to keep righteously modern. That is what Mazda, the most-knowing Being, wishes them to accomplish. It means the ideal life one desires. It is a reward in a world which is laden with the fruit of good deeds. It is this God-willing renovation that Zarathushtra has learned through his divine inspiration.

Pondering Point:

“Aid in the renovation of existence; your actions to this end will accumulate your rewards.”

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).
