"Great is the god Ahuramazda who created this world,
Who created this earth, who created man, and happiness for man
He's happy with it,
"To make others happy."
The Zoroastrian religion is a cult of life. Religion is work, effort, cultivation, harvest, trade, religion is reconciliation and friendship, and religion is joy and happiness.. Of course, the joy that belongs to everyone, the joy and happiness in which others are open. In Zoroastrianism, a person should never be unemployed for the rest of his life, should never spend his life in solitude, laziness and unemployment, and should eat bread that is within his reach..
The one who sows the seeds does the washing and tries to spread the religion of Ahuramazda.
Of Spantman Zoroaster! Someone who is not cultivating and does not plow the land, threatens the land with such a person and says. O you who do not plow! Surely you will stand in the door of strangers for food, and you will ask of it, and you will constantly need the remnants of the food of others..
Zoroastrianism thus calls people to work and effort, but after these counsels:
Be diligent and moderate and eat the bread that you have obtained through good deeds and have found it through your work and effort, and benefit from that bread for God and the righteous beside it. This will be your best deed..
In Zoroastrian religion, one of the rituals that has been established for a long time is the ritual of Gahanbar or sometimes Anbar.. It was such a ritual that celebrations were held at the harvest of each product, in which a portion of the product was given to the poor and needy..
The important point to be said in Zoroastrianism is that when it comes to Zoroastrianism, a group bases their judgment on Zoroastrianism of the Sassanid period and the Sassanid system of government as Zoroastrianism, while, as has been said many times, there are ambiguities. The ideas of the Gathas, which are the true ideas of Ashura Zoroaster, and common ideas in various periods of time, including the Sassanid period. In the Gathas and in true Zoroastrian thought, the basis of humanity and morality is thought, speech and action, and nothing else causes the duality of people.. In Zoroastrianism, fire is a symbol of warmth, light, purity and worship of Zoroastrians. Fire is fire and there is no duality between the fires of the world, but we see that in the Sassanid period the fire becomes several species in the same way and takes on a class color, and a special fire temple is set up for each group of classes such as priests, artisans and farmers.. What is in the Gathas and in the philosophy and religion of Zoroaster is life, it is man, it is work, it is effort and joy, and it is the pleasure of the one who makes others happy..
At the beginning of the new year, when the celebration of Nowruz, which is the beginning of April, is celebrated, we wish the beginning of the new year with the remembrance of the precious teachings of Zoroastrianism..
