Those who educate children well are to be honoured more than parents, for parents only gave life, and teachers, the art of living well.
Mother, father and teacher are best guides of a person; that person is really lucky whose parents are virtuous as they will always guide him to the right way and always think good for him.
By degrees, little by little, from time to time, a wise person should remove his own impurities as a smith removes the dross from silver.
Since, O Mazda, from the beginning, Thou didst create soul and body; mental power and knowledge and since Thou didst place life within the corporeal body and didst bestow to mankind the power to act, speak and guide, you wished that everyone should choose his or her own faith and path freely.
