Translated Text:

Lord, one who listens and realizes the truth,
becomes a life-healing wise person.
He controls his tongue
to express the right words when he wills.
He, O Wise One, through Your radiant light,
proves good to both parties.

Commentary:

A person who listens to good teachings and understands truth becomes wise and can heal social ills. He becomes a master wise who knows what to say and when to say. It is this enlightened person who promotes the righteous and corrects the wrongful. (Zarathushtra is such a person. He first listened to the best, realized God, understood the ills that plagued humanity, rose to heal the society with his thoughtful, thought-provoking message.)

Pondering Point:

“Seek to understand the laws that govern the universe, as they will help you heal reality, speak true words, and bring good to everyone around you!”
