Wouldn't it be so nice for all Parsi/Irani Zarathushtis to follow these guiding
principles in everyday life? If not anything, check out how many of the
following do you score on.
Regardless of any circumstance, we must have unconditional FAITH
and passionate LOVE towards Dādār Ahura Mazda.
Three things must be of paramount importance: 1) Dedication to
Ahura Mazda and our commitment to the Māzdayasni Zarathushti
Religion, 2) our own health and 3) our family, in that very order. The
rest of the worldly matters follow.
Our prayers have unbelievable powers; we must passionately
immerse ourselves in prayers everyday with correct pronunciation
and speed.
We do our utmost to follow and practice the rituals as outlined in the
Vendidād. We also fully realize that practices which are totally beyond
our control are hopefully forgiven by Ahura Mazda.
We must put our genuine effort to help those in need, and even those
who seek our help despite their substandard religious values.
We fully realize that the miracles of Ahura Mazda are a reality, and
they happen every moment of our life, unbeknownst to us many of
the times. We are also completely aware that His blessings come in
the form of help to us when needed.
We must be actively engaged to enhance our knowledge on various
elements of the Religion. However, we need to refrain from
vehemently probing when no answers are coming forth, for it's a sign
from Ahura Mazda that we are not supposed to know about the
matter in question at the time.
We must disseminate our knowledge of the Religion to our fellow
Parsis who are genuinely interested but dissociate from those who
have deviated from the true path of the Religion and wouldn't change.
We must not hesitate to indulge in material pleasures of life that do
not contravene the Religion, as it is Ahura Mazda Himself who wants
us to be happy and enjoy our days on Earth
