Baod & Fravashi- i.e. such great souls are gifted with Ahu -Daena- Baod power and accompanied by active<br />

Fravashi furnishing <strong>the</strong>m 'Asno Urvan' i.e. eternal and universal consciousness meaning Heart knowledge<br />

and its resultant powers. Such divine men are depicted in Gatha 30; 2 as possessing Geashaish Vahishta i.e.<br />

many divine ears which are flooded with <strong>the</strong> rhythm <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> holy Ahunvar, <strong>the</strong> music <strong>of</strong> eternal universal<br />

consciousness and as possessing Soocha Mananghha meaning all illumined mind in tune with universal<br />

consciousness i.e. heart-knowledge. There in 30, 2 Ahunvad Gatha, Zarathushtra says "Sraota Geashaish<br />

Vahishta meaning Listen to me with many best ears i.e. highly developed Keherpa with elevated Chakras<br />

meaning developed heart-powers it tune with eternal consciousness; Avaenta Sooch Mananghha meaning<br />

see with illumined burning knowing mentality i.e. with <strong>the</strong> developed third eye see what I show <strong>of</strong> Nature's<br />

working in <strong>the</strong> Sezda, i.e. experience <strong>the</strong> eternal-universal consciousness. (How is all this possible ?)<br />

Avarenao Vichithahya Narem Khakhyai Tanaye: - Vichithahy a, meaning prescribed sanctioned and<br />

accepted, Avarena meaning faith i.e. Patha meaning tarkat meaning cannons to follow to be taken on faith for<br />

<strong>the</strong> time being (are prescribed); Narem Narem meaning separately for every man; Khakhyai Tanay meaning<br />

suiting to his own bodily weakness, druj meaning iniquities. (This Avarenao faith-Patha path treaded on upon<br />

<strong>the</strong> Prophet's word will develop in him Geashaish Vahishta meaning many best ears which listen <strong>the</strong> divine<br />

Ahunaver music <strong>of</strong> eternal universal consciousness and soocha mananghha<br />

meaning illumined mentality in tune with eternal universal consciousness i.e. <strong>the</strong> third eye which can see<br />

<strong>the</strong> Nature's working). Para Maze Yaonghho Ahmai Ne Sazdyai Baodanto Paiti: Baodanto meaning<br />

possessed <strong>of</strong> Baod divine wisdom and sense i.e. heart powers which receive baod from on high, becoming in<br />

tune with all consciousness (as seen above in <strong>the</strong> Farvardin Yasht), Paiti fully, circumscribingly i.e. having<br />

become <strong>the</strong> master <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same i.e. fully illumined and wise master (that he has become because <strong>of</strong> his<br />

treading on <strong>the</strong> path shown by me); Ahmai meaning for him, for such a believer, ne sazdyai to be conversant<br />

from us about para maze yaonghho meaning mighty events <strong>of</strong> all seven tenses i.e. Nature's working (is a<br />

proper right). Thus <strong>the</strong> patha tarikat is quite essential for <strong>the</strong> onward progress <strong>of</strong> man towards <strong>the</strong> Creator.<br />

When in <strong>the</strong> course <strong>of</strong> time and running <strong>of</strong> aeons materialism and ignorance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spirit become<br />

established, <strong>the</strong> Saoshyants meaning <strong>the</strong> future regenerators, authorised Raenidars meaning spiritual leaders<br />

<strong>of</strong> Zarathushtra will reestablish <strong>the</strong> daena by <strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Patha which is called in Gatha 53 -2 'Erezush<br />

Patha' i.e. <strong>the</strong> path <strong>of</strong> righteousness which is also called 'Pathao yo Ashahe'. The religion which is to be<br />

established in future by <strong>the</strong> Saoshyant is called 'Erezush Pathao yam Daenam Saoshyanto <strong>the</strong> daena <strong>of</strong><br />

Saoshyant which consists <strong>of</strong> tarikat, <strong>the</strong> path <strong>of</strong> Asha Gatha 53; 2 reads: 'Erezush Patho yam Daenam Ahuro<br />

Saoshyanto Dadat meaning Ahura prepared for <strong>the</strong> future regenerators <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Religion</strong> <strong>of</strong> daena (religion)<br />

consisting <strong>of</strong> patha <strong>of</strong> Asha i.e. Tarikat called <strong>the</strong> daena (religion) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Saoshyant. Thus we see that <strong>the</strong><br />

religion enjoins on its votaries <strong>the</strong> duty <strong>of</strong> following <strong>the</strong> path prescribed, and not <strong>the</strong> path that one chooses.<br />

Certainly our mind is possessed <strong>of</strong> druj iniquities, which is blind in matters spiritual-which cannot find out a<br />

way for it self. Hence <strong>the</strong> Prophet is so ardently advocating <strong>the</strong> path as shown in Gatha and Avesta.<br />

Thus <strong>the</strong>n methods are devised called patha-tarikat, by which <strong>the</strong> lower self, <strong>the</strong> carnal desires are<br />

subdued and <strong>the</strong> higher powers in <strong>the</strong> Self (called Keherp and its Chakras, <strong>the</strong> invisible counterpart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

seen body and its mystic organs o<strong>the</strong>rwise called Geushaish Vahishta i.e. many ears attuning <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

with <strong>the</strong> divine music called Ahunavar) are developed, which concentrate in a talismanic rink formed in <strong>the</strong><br />

heart called Daena, a divine mirror which helps to see and feel <strong>the</strong> micro and <strong>the</strong> macro cosmos i.e. <strong>the</strong><br />

eternal universal consciousness. Thus is developed <strong>the</strong> heart power i.e. <strong>the</strong> limited consciousness <strong>of</strong> man<br />

manifested from <strong>the</strong> heart gets Urvinaiti powers i.e. powers <strong>of</strong> far-<strong>of</strong>f vision. He is so to say provided with a<br />

divine spectacle wherewith he can come in tune with <strong>the</strong> eternal-universal consciousness. Such a heart<br />

becomes <strong>the</strong> reservoir <strong>of</strong> divine messages. Such men develop a third mental eye which has <strong>the</strong> power to see<br />

and understand Nature i.e., to become in tune with <strong>the</strong> eternal universal consciousness which is described as<br />

'Vaso yaona' <strong>the</strong> literal as well as <strong>the</strong> esoteric meaning <strong>of</strong> which is to be 'at -onement' with according to what<br />

should be desired i.e. Ahunvarya dictates. The sight <strong>of</strong> such a third eye is described as 'Duraesuka' meaning<br />

far-illumined vision. The occult heart powers and <strong>the</strong> consequent development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> third mental eye situated<br />

on <strong>the</strong> Hara Berez i.e. highest mount <strong>of</strong> Keherpa (<strong>the</strong> unseen counterpart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seen body) are not attained<br />

at except by <strong>the</strong> practices <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Patha-tarikat stated above. The carnal desires and <strong>the</strong> invisible emanation<br />
