The Teachings of Zoroaster and the Philosophy of the Parsi Religion

About this book

'Good thoughts, good words, good deeds' is a simple phrase with demanding consequences. S. A. Kapadia introduces a spiritual tradition in which the daily choice between truth and falsehood gives human life its moral weight.

Kapadia selects Zoroastrian teachings on justice, purity, responsibility, the fate of the soul and the struggle between beneficent and destructive forces. The passages introduce the beliefs of the Parsi community through their ethical demands, returning repeatedly to truthfulness and the consequences of daily conduct.
