He who abhors and shuns the light of the Sun, He who refuses to behold with respect the living creation of God, He who leads the good to wickedness, He who makes the meadows waterless and the pastures desolate, He who lets fly his weapon against the innocent, An enemy of my faith, a destroyer of Thy principles is he, O Lord!

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.

A person who hates sunlight, disrespects nature, corrupts good people, destroys water sources and farmland, and attacks the innocent is branded an enemy of truth and a wrecker of divine order. The passage lists concrete harms—environmental destruction, moral corruption, violence against the defenseless—and declares that anyone who commits them has set themselves against God. Righteousness is defined by what you protect; wickedness by what you ruin.
Zoroaster founded a faith built on the cosmic struggle between Asha (truth, order) and Druj (lie, chaos), and this passage is classic Gathic accusation. As a priest-reformer, he condemned cattle-raiders and tyrants who ravaged pastoral communities. His reverence for sun, fire, water, earth, and livestock shaped ritual life, and his insistence that ethical choice—not sacrifice alone—determines one's standing before Ahura Mazda runs directly through every clause here.
Zoroaster lived in Bronze Age eastern Iran, likely around 1500–1200 BCE, among semi-nomadic herders whose survival depended on pastures, wells, and cattle. Raiding warbands routinely poisoned waterholes, torched grazing land, and slaughtered herds—real catastrophes, not metaphors. Polytheistic daeva-worship tolerated such violence through warrior cults. Zoroaster's reform elevated a single wise lord, Ahura Mazda, and recast these raiders as agents of the Lie, making ecological and social harm a theological crime.
