It Is My Own Fault, If I Know Not Thee, Ahura Mazda!
Seven or nine heavens, vaulting one above another, they say, is Garonmana, Thy celestial Abode of Songs.

Thy throne is not in supernal regions, higher […]

I Will Give Thee My Very Best – Myself, Ahura Mazda!
Who am I to give Thee anything? What have I that I can give Thee? Verily nothing have I to give to the giver of all. My heart alone is all that I can call my own and willingly will I dedicate it to Thee. In my simplicity I thought that I pleased Thee by […]
Thou Dost Never Fail Me. Help Me Never To Fail Thee, Ahura Mazda!
When all else fail, Thou dost never fail. Often do I fail to answer Thy call, but Thou dost never fail to answer my call. Thou dost answer me whenever I call Thee in my joy or sorrow. Since the day that Thou didst plant my feet on the mother earth, Thou dost shepherd me […]
Let Thy Love Possess My Soul, Ahura Mazda!

Unite Me To Thyself By Thy Love, Ahura Mazda!
Thou hast planted the seed of love in human heart. It is the strongest passion of his soul. It is dearer than all that he holds dear in this world. Everything is empty, when the heart is empty. Unhappy is the heart that has not Thy love to cling to. It is lonely. It is […]
