More from Zoroaster
"One need not scale the heights of the heavens, nor travel along the highways of the world to find Ahura Mazda. With purity of mind and holiness of heart one can find Him in one's own heart."
"That which is good for all and any one, For whomsoever- that is good for me. . . What I hold good for self, I should for all. Only Law Universal is true law."
"May your spirit be strong and your coffee be stronger."
"He who is good to the pious, he is good to himself, but he who is evil to the pious, he is evil to himself."
"I will sing praises to You, O Ahura Mazda, with good thoughts and truthful words."
About Zoroaster (c. 1500-1000 BCE (debated))
Iranian prophet who founded Zoroastrianism, the first major religion of cosmic dualism between good (Ahura Mazda) and evil (Angra Mainyu). Closely associated with The Buddha (near-contemporary Eastern moral-cosmological revolutionary). For an intellectual contrast, see Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher of 'beyond good and evil' — Nietzsche appropriated Zarathustra's name for Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883) precisely to invert the original's moral cosmology — the historical Zoroaster founded the good-versus-evil framework Nietzsche's character announces the end of.

Understanding this quote
What it means
This is a lighthearted blessing wishing someone emotional richness and material comfort without prescribing what that comfort should look like. Love your people, and fill your life with whatever brings you joy, be it money, keepsakes, snacks, or small treasures. It gently refuses to moralize about wealth or possessions, leaving the choice of what matters to the person receiving the wish.
Relevance to Zoroaster
Zoroaster taught that good thoughts, good words, and good deeds were the foundation of a meaningful life, with inner purity weighing more than outer possessions. A heart full of love aligns with his emphasis on righteousness and asha, the cosmic order of truth. The playful openness about pockets fits his respect for human free will, a central pillar of his theology: individuals freely choose what fills their own lives.
The era
Zoroaster lived in Bronze Age Iran, likely between 1500 and 1000 BCE, among pastoral tribes where wealth meant cattle, grain, and kin. Surrounding polytheistic cults demanded strict ritual offerings and animal sacrifice to appease many gods. His reform centered worship on one wise creator, Ahura Mazda, and shifted moral weight onto personal ethics and free choice, making a blessing that trusts the hearer to define their own abundance quietly radical for the age.
