Zarathushtra: Where is the Fire?  

 Zarathushtra: Where is the Fire?

Zarathushtra
You are my best friend and guide,
...please, tell me, where is the sacred fire?
I know it has been promised to humanity
So, is it on my side?

Where is the Fire?
I have search days and nights
Looking for its radiant lights
Is it in Serenity?
Or is it too far in eternity?

Zarathushtra
I am from a different land
Does it mean that it is out of my hand?
But you promised it to every man
Who would use the precious vohuman

Zarathushtra
Is the Fire for the wise?
Or for the one who needs the light?
Tell me, in which direction
I can go to get its protection

Zarathushtra, if I have to
Go through desertic sands,
Explore profound caves out of sight,
Sail brave indomitous seas
I will do it, because I want to chose aright

Zarathushtra, without fire
My life has an empty mind
That keeps me away from happiness
And it just brings a dark sign
That doesn’t let me meet the divine
in the abode of righteousness

Zarathushtra…Where is the Fire?
It should be in an Asha dimension
That leads to perfection
It should be in a good mind
That reflects the divine

Zarathushtra
It should be in a good dominion
That embraces wisdom
It should be in spenta mainyu
That brings the progressive fire in you

Zarathushtra 
Is the fire in meditation?
Or is it in my purification?
One thing I know in my reflection
It is the essence of Ahura Mazda’s creation


4.3. The happiness You grant, has been promised to the two parties through Your mental fire and righteousness. It is a matter of principle for the discerning. Wise One, for our knowledge, speak with the very words of Your mouth. It will help me guide all the living to choose aright.

7.4. Therefore, Lord, we yearn for Your fire, which is strong through righteousness. It is very swift and forceful, and clearly and strongly helps the supporters. But, Wise One, for an enemy daring to harm, it has the power of arms to stop him.

8.4. Wise One, I realize You to be powerful and progressive because You help with Your own hand. You give rewards to both the wrongful and the righteous by means of the warmth of Your fire which is mighty through righteousness, and through which strength of good mind comes to me.

8.9. I realized You, God Wise, to be progressive when I was encircled by it through good mind. To its question: "For what purpose do you want to acquire knowledge;" I said: "With the gift of homage to Your fire, I shall meditate, as long as I can, in quest of righteousness."

11.7 Who will, O Wise One, give me protection when the wrongful threatens to harm me, other than Your Fire and Mind? It is through the working of these two that, O God, righteousness thrives. Do enlighten my inner-self with this doctrine.

11.6. Wise God, You grant good to both these parties through the progressive mentality by means of fire -- light, warmth and energy -- because with the growth of serenity and righteousness, it shall convert many a seeker.

16. 9.You grant happiness to both factions through Your bright Fire, Wise One, as well as through the purifying test. This is the established principle of existence: Sufferings for the wrongful, and blessings for the righteous.
