"Truth is the best of all things. As righteousness, it is happiness."
"I will sing praises to You, O Ahura Mazda, with good thoughts and truthful words."
"Whoso causes affliction to the righteous, him shall the evil spirit hold captive."
"In immortality shall the soul of the righteous be ever in splendor."
"And when these two spirits came together, they created life and non-life, and how at the end the worst existence shall be for the wicked, but the Best Mind for the righteous."
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.

The speaker urges people alive now to spread true teachings to those caught up in falsehood and deception. The goal is prevention: if liars hear the truth clearly, they might turn back before destroying themselves a second time. It places responsibility on the informed to warn the misguided, treating ignorance as a cycle that repeats unless someone breaks it by openly sharing what is right.
Zoroaster framed existence as a cosmic contest between Asha (truth, order) and Druj (the Lie). As a reforming priest who claimed direct revelation from Ahura Mazda, he made active teaching central to righteousness. This line mirrors his own mission: he was mocked and exiled for years before gaining a royal patron, yet kept preaching that followers must confront liars rather than stay silent about sacred truth.
Zoroaster lived in Bronze Age Iran, likely around 1500-1000 BCE, among pastoral Indo-Iranian tribes practicing polytheistic ritual sacrifice and cattle raiding. Priests called karapans defended the old cults. By warning of a 'second destruction,' he spoke into a world that remembered floods, famines, and tribal collapse as divine punishment. His monotheistic ethical reform was radical, demanding tribes abandon ancestral gods and judge actions by truth versus deceit.
