kâ speñtâ âramaitish
kê vâ vanghêush mananghô
acistâ magâi ereshvô.

Translated Text:

Wise One, which person is a friend of mine,
Zarathushtra Spitama?
Who, indeed, consults righteousness?
With whom is the progressive serenity?
Who, indeed, considers himself rightful
to belong to good mind and to the Fellowship?

Commentary:

These questions point to the type of person Zarathushtra considers a companion, a person who consults righteousness, lives a life of progressive tranquility, uses his good mind, is a member of the Zarathushtrian Fellowship, and considers himself a rightful person.

Pondering Point:

“Seek friends who provide righteousness and truthfulness to your friendship.”

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).
