Chapter Eight

ATTRIBUTES THAT LEAD TO GOD

AN IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTE WHICH COMES to a person who lives by truth is to be farseeing, which is set out in Chapter 33.13.

AHUNAVAITI – Yas. 33.13

Give me bliss, make me far-seeing and reveal to me Your incomparable gifts – Your power, and the blessings of the Pure Mind. O Holy Right-Mindedness, teach us clearly as to how truth guides our way of thinking.

Another attribute is gratitude set out in Chapter 31.5.

AHUNAVAITI – Yas. 31.5

Declare what is true unto me so that I may decide as to what is better for me. That I may know this through the pure mind and feel exalted in whatever good may come to me – whether it comes or does not come.

A number of verses speak of humility. These are self-explanatory and are set out in this chapter.

AHUNAVAITI – Yas. 28.1

To the Almighty God, I pray in all humility, with uplifted hands which reach out for perfect happiness. This prayer is, first of all, to the Good Spirit, which I seek to emulate through deeds done for the love of truth. These deeds are what bring wisdom, the highest that the mind can attain. It is this wisdom that Mother Earth needs the most so that peace can be brought to her.

USTAVAITI – Yas. 44.12

This do I ask You, tell me truly, O Lord:

Who will I associate with – the righteous or those who are evil? On which side am I – the victim or the perpetrator of evil? The doer of evil sets himself against truth and its rewards – is it not that such person as this thinks not aright?

SPENTA MAINYU – Yas. 49.10

And this, O Lord, will I find in Your abode, in Your great dominion – the Pure Mind, and the souls of the righteous, who, filled with humility and the desire to be right-minded, look kindly on mankind in support.

VOHU KSHATREM – Yas. 51.5

Questioning about all these as to how he should advance life in truth, the Protector, upright in his deeds, acquires good insight through humility. He is the true guide to those who are wise, bringing them blessings.
