Ilm-e-Khshnoom - Traditional Zoroastrianism: Tenets of the Religion

Atashbehram episode.
The episode shows how the spiritual Masters work on their disciples. The events were quite simple and
day-to-day, yet the Master was aware of the significance and the message hidden in them. This also shows
that nothing in Nature happens ad-hoc and without any calculated reason, and everything that happens has a
resultant effect in Nature. A small insignificant and seemingly petty event may have colossal and mammoth
consequences. Even modern science has dashed with this in what is known as "Chaos theory". One more
headache is thrown by the 20th Century in the bag of science by this theory, after the irremediable headaches
of Relativity and Quantum Physics. The first discovery which the Chaos theory propounded was, what is
known as, Butterfly effect. This is expressed thus: the fluttering of a butterfly's wings in Tokyo can
precipitate a chain of effects that will produce a storm in Chicago. (See any book on Chaos Theory). Our
three dimensional consciousness has no idea what effect a simplest looking thought, word or action can have
in Nature. Zarathoshti Din and its Mystical Sciences declare in no uncertain terms that every thought, word
and deed generates a 'goobaar' i.e., an unseen vibrationary cloud or formulation; that the goobaar of the good
thoughts words and deeds accumulate in the South at a place called "Dadaar-e-Gehaan" and the bad ones in
the North at a place called "Apaakhtar"; and that after death they form a combined formulation called
"Kerdaar", which presents itself before the deceased's personality on the "Chinvat Bridge". (This is not the
occasion to delve into these Truths. Vendidad Pargarad 19, Paragraphs 27 et. seq. describes Kerdaar and
Chinvat. Chinvat is referred to in the Gatha Yaz. Haa 51-13.) But these are mentioned here to show that
every event in Nature, including every thought-word-deed of a human has a resultant effect. In our story, riots
in Bhuleshwar, Framroze's early arrival at home and Jehangir's sleep including his "cold stout" were
seemingly trifles, the kind of which happen every hour or second; yet they are ordained by Nature and do
bring a calculated effect or message for the future. There is powerful Truth hidden in oft-repeated statement,
"Even a leaf does not move without God's will, wish and command."
Beheramshahji wanted to have another confirmatory test for the fact that Framroze was ordained to
propagate Khshnoom after him.
