Transliterated Text (Form II): kat toi raazaray kat vashee kat vaa stooto kat vaa yasnahya srooidyaai mazdaa fraavaochaa yaa veedaayaat asheesh raashnaam eeshaa naao ashaa patho vangheush xvaaytayng manangho. Translated Text: What is Your guidance and what is Your wish? Is it for praise, or is it for veneration? Wise One, declare it while we listen, and the reward for following Your guidance. Show us, through righteousness, the paths to self-reliance of good mind. (Gathas: Song 7 - stanza 12) Summary Substance: Zarathushtra asks and then supplies the subtle answer: The paths leading through righteous to the goal -- self-reliance that enjoys good mind. This is what the guidance is for, what the Wise One wishes. God does not want praise and veneration. All Mazda wishes is that we are guided to our goal. It is us who praise and venerate God out of love. Pondering Points: The goal guided by Mazda: Self-reliance based on good mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
