Translated Text:

You, Wise One, Who have fashioned the world,
the waters, and the plants
by Your most progressive mentality,
grant me, in accordance with good mind’s doctrine,
immortality, wholeness,
steadfast strength, and endurance.

Commentary:

To serve the living world, the waters, and the plants better, Zarathushtra says a short prayer addressing Mazda who has created these very things through his creative faculty, the most progressive mentality. He prays that he, guided by his good mind, may enjoy endurance, lasting energy, perfection, and eternity.

Pondering Point:

“Mazda created existence through the iterative impulse to progress towards goodness, which would ultimately bring us perfection and immortality.”

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).
