Message of the Day

“If you choose to be righteous, a bright future awaits you, but if you choose to be deceitful, then misery is your reward.”

(Gathas: Song 4.20 / Y31.20) ýê âyat ashavanem
divamnem hôi aparem xshyô
daregêm âyû temanghô
dushhvarethêm avaêtâs vacô
têm vâ ahûm dregvañtô
shyaothanâish hvâish daênâ naêshat.

Whoever goes over to the righteous, enjoys a bright future. But the wrongful lives a long life of darkness, evil splendor and woeful words, because it is on account of his deeds, that his conscience leads him to it.

Summary: Bright future awaits those who choose to follow the Universal Law by being ethical. A long period of suffering with dark thoughts and harsh words meets the wrongful, who are deceived by short-term benefit of unethical behavior. His personal beliefs about reality and existence have led him to such a life.
