CHAPTER 57 “‘the heaven which is in the place of good thoughts, the place of good words, the place of good deeds, and the perfect supreme heaven of all gloriousness, the path of the spirits and worldly existences, and the Chinwad bridge are produced and allotted through the power of wisdom.’ ‘and Ohrmazd's creatures' thoroughly understanding the nature of heaven and hades, the compassion of Ohrmazd the archangels, and other angels as regards their own creatures, and the devastation and destructiveness of Ahriman and the demons as regards the creatures of Ohrmazd it is possible to comprehend through the more complete power of wisdom. And the good religion of the Mazda-worshippers, the sayings and teaching of the spirits, and the demons' demolishing the worldly body and making it imperceptible by the sight of men are apprehended more fully by means of the most perfect means of wisdom.’ ‘And as to every man whose participation in wisdom is much, his share of Heaven is then much more. Even as to Vishtasp, Zoroaster, Gayomard, and those others whose share of Heaven was much greater on account of much wisdom coming unto them. And as to Yim, Faridoon, Kay Us, and those other rulers who obtained splendor and mightiness from the sacred beings just as the participation of Vishtasp and other rulers in the religion occurred - and their not attaining to the religion, and also as to the times when they have become ungrateful unto their own lord, it was on account of the little coming of wisdom unto them.’”
CHAPTER 60 “‘Because it is said, that whoever joins with the good brings good with him, and whoever joins with the bad brings evil just like the wind which, when it comes upon stench, is stench, and when it comes upon perfume,is perfume, it is, therefore, notorious, that he whose business is with the good receives good, and he whose business is with the bad receives evil; but, even then, both are to be considered as an experiment.’”
CHAPTER 63 “To be grateful in the world, and to wish happiness for everyone. This is greater and better than every good work, and no commotion whatever is necessary for its performance.”
