MoobedyAr Mehran Gheibi
I am agree with most of your points. It is just correct that ashem vohoo is in accordance with gAthA. The thing that I tried to say, is the thing that ashA is law/rule/ order... and is not good or bad as we describe evil /devil or goodness. All your examples are related to human being benefits. Science is good or bad? Upon gAthA the hudA, uses the science and knowledge in useful way, but dozhdA uses the same science or knowledge in harmful way.

__._,_.___Dear Mobedyar, Ushta!
With sall due respect, the Gathas were made by a human being as well.
Zarathushtra is no god or son of god and nowhere in his Gathas does he say
that MA composed or dictated the Gathas to him. But let's not argue,
instead, if you have verses from the Gathas that say that MA composed or
dictated the Gathas to Zarathushtra post them and I will accept them.
We have so much in common why do we parse? The Ashem Vohu shows every
indication to have been composed by Zarathushtra himself . Indeed it totally
agrees with the rest of the Gathas and reveals one of the Principles to Live
by that he taught. But even if, he was not the author, these teachings are
so in harmony with what the Ashem Vohu teaches that it would not make any
difference. If the Ashem Vohu describes Asha as Vohu, are you going to say
that Asha is not Vohu? Based on what text, may iask? If the Ashem Vhohu
describes Asha as being Vahishai, are you going to say that Asha is not
Vahistai?
If you are not going to challenge the meaning of the Ashem Vohu and, in all
honesty, I cannot see how can you challenge it using the Gathas and its
teachings, then, you must accept it as being in full harmony with the
Gathas. Therefore, if you believe in what the Gathic message teaches you
must believe in what the Ashem Vohu says.
It is true that Asha has a subjective dimension, just as it has a physical
and a spiritual one. In that subjective dimension it is sometimes relative
in that what maybe Asha in one instance and circumstance and to a certain
person , might not be so in another instance and circumstance and/or to
another person.
But that is only ONE aspect of Asha. When you consider it as what it is
linguistically, and Universally, Asha is the direct equivalent of RTA and
that is the Correct Order of the Universe. In its universal sense Asha is
the Correct order of behavior that leads to Haurvatat and Ameretat. That is,
if we behave according to Asha , we a will d eliminate druj and reach
Haurvatat and Amereta, as well as, the Blessed Abode of the Most Wise.
Independently of the Ashem Vohu, without even mentioning it, this can be
easily established by the Gathas Because when Zarathushtra talks about how
we can all achieve Haurvatat he talks about such things as 'Delivering Druj
into the hands of Asha '. He tells us to behave according to Vohu Manah
because it is is that which discerns Asha, etc. There are many texts that
allude to this Asha's central role as the standard of what is Good
Universally and applicable to all. The Divine Standard which , if followed,
will lead us to the Abode of Song
Just a few questions , Mobedyar. Is there a UNIVERSAL GOOD, something that
is good at all times and for all persons? Is there ever a time that we ought
to murder? Manipulate others for our benefit? Live our lives by bad
thoughts words and deeds? Is there any tme that we ought to live by
cheating, lying, stealing abusing, enslaving and putting down other living
beings? Is there any time that raping a child or commiting genocide is
good? Are these things EVER good?
But what is the standard that if followed will make us NOT do these things
EVER? I have but one answer and its the same one that Asho Zarathushtra gave
in the Gathas. The same one which is enclosed in the Ashem Vohu. Asha is
good, it is the Highest and Best, it is Ushta... If not with Asha, with what
and where does Zarathushtra teach another standard for Universal Goodness?
Or are you saying he does not teach such a standard?
May we always walk in the Thinking that Loves Good, which discerns the Right
Order and leads to peace and Ma's kingdom on this Earth and in all
Creatures. May it be so!
With All Ushta and Love

> <BR>> Persian:<BR>><BR>><BR>> "Righteousness is the universal
> law that stands for order, evolution, <BR>> progress, and perfection as
> ordained by the Creator for the creation. One <BR>> becomes righteous
> by doing the right thing, at the right time, in the <BR>> right place,
> and with the right means to obtain the right result. It means <BR>>
> precision in every thought, words, and deed. It means constant improvement
> <BR>> and continuous renovation. It brings enlightenment, true
> radiating <BR>> happiness, provided that this happiness is shared with
> others. It then <BR>> becomes righteousness for the sake of
> righteousness.<BR>><BR>><BR>> The above Avestan
> couplet frequently repeated in prayers, is popularly <BR>> known by the
> name of 'Ashem Vohu', the two words in the beginning of the <BR>> text.
> It is, in fact, the "main motto" entire Zarathushtrian teachings. <BR>>
> Righteousness, the universal law of precision, is the basic principle of
> <BR>> the Good Religion.<BR>><BR>><BR>> Zarathushtra
> conveniently divides mankind into two camps: Adherents of <BR>> 'asha',
> righteousness. They are 'ashavan', the righteous who promote the <BR>>
> human society and the living world. Followers of 'druj', harmful lie,
> <BR>> wrong. They are 'dregvant', the wrongful. The main mission of
> Zarathushtra <BR>> and his companions is to promote 'asha' and to
> eliminate 'druj' -- to <BR>> completely establish an 'ashavan' society
> that radiates 'ushtâ', <BR>> enlightening happiness to
> all."<BR>><BR>><BR>> Mr. Mehryar Mehrafarin, Persian poet,

2 things. I said that Asha is TH STANDARD OF WHAT IS GOOD, That is we judge
our actions as good if they are in harmony with Asha, and Asha as an
Attribute and Aspect of MAs nature must be good because MA is All Good .
Even if you disagree and do not think Asha is an Attribute or Aspect of MA,
Asha must still be Good for Mazda is All Good and He is the Father or Source
of Asha according to the Gathas. So... what are we arguing about?
In the Love of MA

MoobedyAr Mehran Gheibi
Dear Mobedyar, Ushta
2 things. I said that Asha is TH STANDARD OF WHAT IS GOOD, That is we judge
our actions as good if they are in harmony with Asha, and Asha as an
Attribute and Aspect of MAs nature must be good because MA is All Good .
Even if you disagree and do not think Asha is an Attribute or Aspect of MA,
Asha must still be Good for Mazda is All Good and He is the Father or Source
of Asha according to the Gathas. So... what are we arguing about?
In the Love of MA
Ushta Te
