This 1,100+ page book arrived yesterday and appears to be the most comprehensive volume on the Gathas of Zarathushtra aka Zoroaster. I look forward to diving into these verses that are the only writings that can be attributed to this prophet of a religion that is 3,000 to 4,000 years old.
For the Best Mind, and for the Best word and deed actuated by Truth, From the Bountiful spirit of the Lord Mazda, May He in Sovereign Authority and through the spirit of Right-mindedness Bestow upon us His two great blessings, Perfecting integrity here and Immortality hereafter.
Gathas, yasna 47:1
20 Gathas of Zoroaster
“1. Offer Praise and Prayer to God 2. Be Pure in Thought, Word and Deed 3. Send Forth the Light 4. Speak not to the wilfully deaf 5. Dedicate all gifts, rewards and praise to God, not yourself 6. Pray to God for Wisdom 7. Concentrate your Thoughts on Beauty and Perfection 8. Neither love nor hate your enemy—learn to be Indifferent 9. Have Patience and Perseverance 10. Do not judge others 11. Do not do evil, thinking that good day come of it 12. Evade inanities and seek Solitude 13. Be multi-talented and not one-talented 14. Trust in Peace, not chance 15. Avoid the double-edged sword of revenge 16. Be clean of body and mind 17. Rejoice with the laughter of Wisdom (sadness is for the shadows) 18. Treat Work as a blessing—and perform it now! 19. Overcome lower temptations 20. Be silent of speech and ‘keep thou the door of thy lips’“

Ainsi, pour réaliser le but ultime d'une longue vie avec la Pensée juste, je ferai appel à ma voix intérieure, la Seraosha qui est la meilleure de toutes les voix, et je marcherai fermement sur le chemin de la justesse pour atteindre Ta sublime Deumeure, ô Ahura Mazda.
