Translated Text:

This I ask You, tell me truly, Lord.
In order to bear Your directives in mind, Wise One,
the words which I ask through good mind
and the facts about life to be correctly
understood through righteousness are:
What shall my soul ultimately attain?

Commentary:

Zarathushtra wants to precisely carry out the principles of life he has realized through his good mind and righteousness so that his soul finally attains its goal—to be godlike (see the following answering question).

Pondering Point:

“The principles that guide us through a righteous life will ultimately result in the final goal of fulfillment.”

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).
