Message of the Day
“Greed will blind many people by setting their minds on committing evil to amass wealth.”
(Gathas: Song 5.14 / Y32.14) ahyâ gerêhmô â-hôithôi nî kâvayascît xratûsh nî dadat varecå hîcâ fraidivâ hyat vîsêñtâ dregvañtem avô hyatcâ gâush jaidyâi mraoî ýê dûraoshem saocayat avô.
Seizing such spoils, even the sagacious princes have long been devoting their minds and efforts. They have, thus, resorted to help the wrongful. Fired by the wisdom-wasting drink, they have declared that the world must be destroyed.
Summary: The princes have continuously used their intellectual abilities to plunder villages and towns since they have become prisoners of their own wealth. They would use a stimulant and hallucinogenic drug called Haoma in a ritual before they would embark on a plundering raid. Through this they have destroyed the world.
