Ahura Mazda

Naked I came into the world, and Ormazd asked me not for provender.

And the elect of the earth should rise in glory, and be immersed in Nirvana forever, even at the feet of Ormazd.

And whoso saith: ORMAZD, ORMAZD!

2 It is a remarkable coincidence, that as soon as the Brahmans began to preach Brahma, instead of Ormazd (the Creator), they lost the signs and miracles of the ancients.

Ormazd hath created a large field; His people are numerous, and there are many in the world so like unto others, they are as one in all things.

In whatsoever a man do, and his own self receive prestige over others, that man offend in the sight of Jehovih (Ormazd).

And before bathing, you* should say: Before You, O Jehovih (Ormazd) I will put away the filth of my body and the evil of my spirit.

Whether you* call the Light, EOLIN, or ORMAZD, or GOD, or SUDGA, it matter''' little, provided the idea eliminated hath reference to that which is THE HIGHEST CONCEIVED OF, Who is Ever Present, and is the Person from which all persons sprung.

Take no man nor woman into the family till first pledged to serve the All Person, Jehovih (Ormazd), with a full and willing heart.

Sakaya said: Of a truth, I do not come of the Holy Ghost; I come of the actual Person, Jehovih (Ormazd).

And all the members thereof were sworn against war, and against caste, and against idleness, and to worship only the Great Spirit, Ormazd.

Thei and Aph and the Creator, are called Armadz, or Ormazd, or Ormuzd.

And in those days, whoso was of the seed of the worshippers of the Great spirit, Ormazd, was outlawed in receiving instruction.

And the angels said, moreover: Neither should you**** grieve for loss of the child, for Ormazd will make of him a deliverer of his people.

And he so consulted the oracle, and the angels of Ormazd said unto him: O king, you, before whom all people fear, hear you the angels of heaven and be wise, for your* kingdom's sake, and for Capilya.

Of the matters of Capilya, hereinafter revealed, know you**** that in all things he was directed by the angels of Jehovih (Ormazd).

The word of Jehovih (Ormazd) came to Capilya, saying: Son of heaven, hear you the Voice of the Ever Present!

Jehovih (Ormazd) said: Behold Me; I am not of the king's laws; I am the Maker of kings.

Capilya said: O Ormazd (Jehovih), why hast You put this upon me, Thy servant?

But tell me the truth, and I swear unto you, both under the name Dyaus and under the name of your God, Jehovih (Ormazd), that your* words should be secret with me, as the God's will.

The angels of Ormazd came to me before your*** birth, saying: Alas, the Chosen People are persecuted and abused, scattered and despised; but because they are faithful and most virtuous, the Ever Present will come and deliver them.

And I said unto the angel: Flesh and blood of me are nothing if I can thereby serve Jehovih (Ormazd).

He said: This is the altar of Jehovih (Ormazd).

Capilya said unto them: Come you**** to the altar of Ormazd, for he desire sacrifice of all whom he bless'''.

Capilya said unto them: Because Ormazd hath done this, go you**** into the altars and return thanks unto Him.

But when Capilya beheld they feared him, he said unto them: He who hath faith in Ormazd fear''' nothing in heaven or earth.

None of the rab'bahs could answer Capilya, and so he said: Ormazd provided your servant with great learning.

To rise with the sun; to bathe the body once every day; to eat no flesh nor fish; to pray to Ormazd at sunrise, at high noon, at sunset, and before laying down to sleep.

The rab'bahs said: The first is the speech of Ormazd; the second is the speech of satan; for as these dwell in men, so do they manifest.

To see an altar, as we pass along, enforce upon us the thought of worship, and of Ormazd, the Creator; it lead the soul upward.

To talk of good things; of delights; of love; of Ormazd and his wonderful creations; of life and death; of everlasting happiness; these are good speech and give the soul great happiness.

These are the generations of the seven antecedents of Chine, the chosen of the Great Spirit, Ormazd, otherwise, in Fonecean, Eloih; that is to say:

Of these, T-soo Yong and Ah So were prophets of Jehovih (Ormazd), and Ah Sho'e was a seer; but the six generations could hear the Voice, and they walked upright, keeping the commandments of Jehovih as revealed in the Zarathustrian laws.

The angel of Jehovih (Ormazd) came to me before the birth and said: The child should be called Chine, signifying no sex; as it is written among the ancients, i-e-su, having no earthly desires.

I am Jehovih (Ormazd) Ever Present.

Whoso said: I will serve Thee, Ormazd, You All Self, he was My chosen.

O that my covenant were set with swords, pointing every way; that I could find no peace but in serving You*, my Creator, Ormazd.

The Diva then made a section of the Divan law, providing for the four who stood highest in the grades in Craoshivi to take the places, to dwell with the Faithist in the names of the Great Spirit; and the names given were: To Jaffeth, Te-in; to Arabin'ya, Jehovih; to Vind'yu, Ormazd; to Guatama, Egoquim; according to the languages, and to the capabilities of mortals to pronounce words.

And whenever corporeans embrace Him, calling themselves FAITHISTS IN THE GREAT SPIRIT, or FAITHISTS IN JEHOVIH, or FAITHISTS IN ORMAZD, or by any other name signifying the ALL LIGHT, or UNSEEN, or PERSON OF EVER PRESENCE, ye should pursue them, and destroy them off the face of the earth.

And all songs of praise should be changed; and prayers and beseechings to your God, instead of Jehovih, or Ormazd, or the Great Spirit.

And I, De'yus, command the locking up of all the books in the libraries of my heavens that in any way teach of Jehovih or Ormazd, or of heavenly kingdoms above mine or greater.

Upon my own self have I sworn it; the name of Jehovih and Ormazd should be destroyed in heaven and earth; and my name, De'yus, even the Lord God, should stand above all else.

For sixty days, the armies of destruction traversed the lowest heavens, high and low, far and near; and they hid away many of the records, and books, and maps, relating to the higher atmospherea and to the etherean worlds beyond; and in sixty days the work of destruction was complete in these heavens, and there was nothing left within sight to prove or to teach the higher heavens, or of Jehovih, the Ormazd.

As you* have cast out the names Jehovih and Ormazd in heaven, even so should you**** cast them out on the earth.

Whoever worship the Great Spirit under the name Jehovih, or Ormazd, should be put to death, both men and women.

And in one day's time the armies were made up, two thousand million angels, and they departed down to the earth to destroy the Faithists and the names Jehovih and Ormazd, and establish De'yus, otherwise the Lord God, the false.

To them that raise the name Jehovih, or Ormazd, or Great Spirit, my legions should carry foul smells to their noses whilst they sleep.

Yea, more, I will fight for him and drink even my brother's blood, if De'yus but prosper me and mine in slaying Faithists, fool-worshippers of Ormazd, the Unseen and Scattered Wind.

And as you* should thus despoil those of earth, to make them know my power and yours, so should you* pursue those newly-arrived in heaven, to make them swear solemnly against Jehovih, the Great Spirit, the Ormazd, and against all other Gods; but if they stubbornly refuse, though in heaven, even as they did on earth, take them before my son, Anubi, who should further examine them; but if still they refuse, Anubi, with his strong guard and brands of fire, should send them down in hell.

Anuhasaj, alias the Lord God, had said to Te-in, the false, to whom he gave in charge Jaffeth and her heavenly places: In the self same time that Osiris and his hosts fall upon the divisions of the earth, even in that day and hour should you and your*** hosts fall upon Jaffeth (China), possessing the temples and altars, and places of oracles, where they serve the Great Spirit under the name Ormazd, and you should subdue them to me under the name Joss, who is and ever should be Ho-Joss8 of heaven and earth.

And your* hosts should fall not upon the Faithists who are firm in the Great Spirit, Ormazd, but upon the weak and disbelieving, the skeptical and much learned philosophers, who are weak in spirit, and you should not fail.

The government was by priests, one for each communion family, and the priests, who were called Wa-shon, were the receivers and distributors of goods, and they ministered in the temples and at the altars of worship in the name of the Great Spirit, Ormazd, sometimes called Po-e-tein, and sometimes E'O'lin, and by other names also.

Whence, in a sure way, he sent his measurers on ahead down to the earth, to measure mortals, as to their weakness and strength in faith in Jehovih (Ormazd), and other rulers, heavenly; to map them and mark them, and to number them.

Sudga opened the door at night for his hosts to fall on the weakest of mortals, as to faith in Ormazd, Who had become as a stale story to hundreds of thousands of men and women.

Remember that they who marry, are chosen by Ormazd to raise up offspring for the glory of heaven and earth; and they should dwell together in peace, love and harmony.

Nor should you* have servants nor masters, for all should be alike servants to Ormazd only.

Jehovih, who by the Brahmins was called Ormazd, sent His light to the earth world once for every hundred generations.

And the light fell upon His sons, prepared from before their births by the angels of Ormazd.

But of the times after, Ormazd commanded the nations of the earth to be rated as a man, and it was so.

Ormazd said: That man may not be confounded, you should number Osiris with the generations that believe not, save in the sun; but of the Zarathustrians, their number should be as those who survived in the darkness of his cycle.

Which were: Zarathustra from the races of Shone and This; and of Zarathustra, Haman; of Haman, Wonchakaka, who begat Zoar, who begat Theo, who begat Andassah, who begat Mur, who begat Romsat; these were tribes of the Zarathustrian order, who rejected idols, Lords, Gods, Saviors, kings, queens, and all other rulers on the earth or in the heavens above the earth, save Ormazd, the Creator.

The angels of Ormazd had prophesied, saying: Out of your*** seed should come one called BRAHMA, who should have su'is with power.

God said: Call me Ormazd; I am the same light that spoke to Zarathustra in the olden time.

Brahma asked: Who are you, O Ormazd, you voice of light?

Hear You me, O Ormazd; for I will break my soul unto You*, and hold nothing back.

Ormazd said: It is well.

Was I not wed to You*, O Ormazd?

Ormazd said: In times past I raised up many an iesu, and they were without flesh desires all their days.

Brahma said: If I love a woman, O Ormazd, may I not lose my love for You?

Ormazd said: By faith in Me you should triumph by the road I marked out for you, since before you wert born.

Can a married man serve Ormazd?

Yea, I have a star, and the Voice of Ormazd come to me at times.

And Ormazd came to me and said: Brahma, my son, forsake your* studies, and take your* broad-axe, and go and hew logs.

And I cried out unto Ormazd, saying: Why hast You put this matter upon your*** son?

Then spake Ormazd to me, saying: Behold, I have revealed my word through such as have no earth desires; but that time is past.

So I rose up and walked after the light of my star; thus far have I come, but how much further I must go I know not; but I will go to the end of the earth if Ormazd require it of me.

I know not what move me past all modesty thus to speak to you, but before Ormazd, Creator of heaven and earth, erst you camest to my father's gate a voice spake in mine ear, saying: Quickly, you, put on your** robes for confession, and hasten to the priest.

I tell you, O man, to save you, the angels of Ormazd came to me.

Brahma said: Now I beseech You*, O Ormazd, that I may never marry!

Then spake Ormazd, out of the midst of the voices of their stars, saying: Hold up thy hand, O man!

And they held up their hands, and Ormazd said: I am the Father, and you** are My children.

When it please Ormazd to speak with me, I will raise my voice.

And all the while they neglected not their devotion to Ormazd; but finally they sat up all night, sleeping not, save in each other's arms.

Now after they lived together as man and wife, the voice of Ormazd came not to Brahma; though the angel of Ormazd remained, and at times talked to both Brahma and Yu-tiv, his wife.

Now during all the time, until after the birth of the sixth son, Yu-tiv had faith in Ormazd, and was a Faithist in her whole heart.

He had said to her ten thousand times: I know Ormazd will come; through me will He deliver the Faithists out of bondage.

And after that, she ceased to use the name Ormazd, or Father, but said, Eolin, after the manner of the ancients.

And Brahma ceased more to speak in presence of Yu-tiv of the coming of Ormazd to himself; and he also adopted the name Eolin, signifying, like the wind, void of shape or person.

But when the time was fulfilled in Ormazd's own way, He came with renewed light, which was on the twenty-first birthday of Hog.

Be you**** watchful for the voice of Ormazd; He is Ever Present!

Again all of them saw and heard the manifestation of Ormazd, save Hog, and he saw not, and heard not what came of the Spirit.

Now spake Yu-tiv saying: I am before Thy judgment, O Ormazd!

O Ormazd, why was Thy daughter born!

Ormazd, the Creator, then spake through Brahma, saying:

They profess Me, even Ormazd; but they have turned My commandments and My doctrines upside down.

They raised up the sword and spear for me; by blood and death they established kingdoms and called them by My name, Ormazd!

Jehovih (Ormazd) ceased, and Brahma woke as from a trance, though he had heard all that was said.

And they have also attested to you* as often, that during the bringing forth of your*** brothers, they were in the fullness of faith in Jehovih (Ormazd).

For in the evidence of the past and of the present it is before you, that men endeavor to enforce their doctrines by saying: BEHOLD THE WORD OF ORMAZD!

For in our love hath Ormazd provided us equal to the highest of Gods.

Yea, my outstretched arms should receive the darkest of men, and my soul should go up in praise of Ormazd forever!

Oos spake next; he said: Most wisely am I named SPACE; for it hath pleased Ormazd to show me the breadth of His Creations.

He said: Wherein should I glorify You*, O Ormazd, and not glorify myself!

Vede said: To know the truth and ever speak it in love and kindness, would not this deliver the world and establish Ormazd?

Then spake the angel of God, saying: How should I please this man, O Ormazd?

Who can find a way to open this man's soul to Thy Wisdom, O Ormazd?

Now spake Yu-tiv: Great is the glory of Thy angel, O Ormazd!

Git-un said: Because I have lived to behold these things, I will proclaim Thy wonders, O Ormazd, as long as I live!

Vede said: Truth is Thy mightiest work, O Ormazd!

Oos said: How wisely hast You framed Thy worlds, O Ormazd!

Next spake Sa-it; he said: Give us of Thy abundance, O Ormazd.

He said: Whoever come that can make me better, and show me how most to benefit Thy world, him, O Ormazd, send You unto me.

So they all spake save Hog, and with all the love they bore for Ormazd's words, nothing doubting they were His very words, not one would venture amongst the evil spirits they had seen, to recover the book.

Then spake Brahma, saying: For many generations Ormazd hath labored for this; I will go myself; I know He will protect me at all times and in all places.

Yea, who but Ormazd could have created so great a man as the unbeliever?

On the next morning, at sunrise, Ormazd spake again through Brahma, and Vede wrote down the words; and on the succeeding morning, in like manner; and so continued for forty days; and in forty days, behold, the Veda was completed; the holy words of Brahma were written.

Brahma answered the captain-general, saying: Brahma salute the king, mightiest of men, Syaythaha, in the name of Ormazd, the Creator, in love and in these wise words, that come to the soul of Brahma.

So Ormazd suffered satan to possess the king for a season; and the king resolved to destroy Brahma and all his people.

So the king came before the sand table, and the spirit wrote these words: He who hath become one with Ormazd is mightier than an army.

Lay you one hand on on the dead man; put your** other hand on my head, for I will prove Ormazd before your** eyes.

And when the king's hands were placed, Brahma stood by the head of the dead man, and his two sons by the heart; and Brahma said: In Thy name, O Ormazd, and by Thy power in me, return you to life, O man!

Brahma said unto the king: Here stand the angel of Ormazd, and the angel saith you are the king in disguise, and, moreover, that he, the angel, command you* here for this purpose, saying to you* in the oracle: He that hath become one with Ormazd is mightier than an army!

I swear before You*, O Ormazd, henceforth I will wear such garments as these I have on, and my life should be given to Thy service.

Brahma and his wife, Yu-tiv, and his youngest son, Hog, departed from Haraoyo, accompanied by seven disciples, and went forth under the direction of the angels of Ormazd, to preach and explain the Veda, carrying one book with them.

So, because of oppression, the kingdom of Azhi was profitable unto Ormazd.

After this the angel directed Brahma to go to the south-west, through the kingdoms of H'spor and Vaetaeyo, and Aramya, and thence to Dacyama, to the city of H'trysti, where Ormazd had a host of one thousand already inspired to join Brahma.

Brahma went and looked at Yu-tiv; and his soul spake within him, saying: O Ormazd, have I not forgotten her, in You*!

Then I called: O Ormazd!

If they belong to Ormazd, it follow I should not keep them.

Who know but by the way of those soldiers is the nearest road for this gold to find its way to Ormazd?

So Hog went away and purchased a horse, and brought it to his mother, saying: Behold, a man hath given you* a present in the name of Ormazd, but forbidd you* to retain it save to ride to Haraoyo, whither you should sell it and give the money to the poor.

First to you, O Ormazd, my blessing, because You createdst me alive, to enjoy Thy glories.

You hast been a very God in all thy ways, and believest not in Ormazd; nor in heaven nor angels!

Let her soul be in quiet with Ormazd.

On the third day Brahma said: Burst forth a song of praise to Ormazd; extol the virtues of the dead.

It was Yu-tiv; the soul of Yu-tiv in the glory of Ormazd, the Creator!

Thus Ormazd send me on before!

He said: Greeting, in the name of Ormazd!

Practicing good works unto all men; abjuring self in all things; and Ormazd will dwell with you and in you forever.

Brahma said: As I and your*** mother have revealed ourselves to you*, and so proven ourselves, so in due season will Ormazd reveal Himself unto thee.

God said: This, then, is the Ormazdian law: Ormazd, the Creator, display His creations, which He created.

These are the words of the Creator, Ormazd, the Jehovih.

As the actions of corporeal substances produce light; as light is the expression and speech of certain corporeal changes, so is Ormazd, the Master Light, the Creator, that which illuminate the soul of man, making man conscious that he is; making man express his impressions.

Though worlds come into being and go out of being (as such), yet Ormazd remain'''; He is the Forever; and within Him are all creations created.

God said: Such was the Ormazdian law; to create man with the possibility of becoming a creator under Jehovih (Ormazd).

Jehovih said: I am the Light and the Life; behold Me, I am Ormazd.

And in sacrament previous to death: I confess, with repentance, I, a good Zarathustrian, unto You*, O Ormazd; and to Thy Lords of the heavenly hosts of Diva.

But this is not Divan law: For the man to go forth; this he do by the Ever Presence, Jehovih, the Ormazd.

Nevertheless, Ormazd provided and provide wherewithal for the whole.
