A Minute Of Meditation

"Take the first step with a good thought, the second with a good word and the third with a good deed. This is the best way. Do not go in any other direction and you will reach Paradise" - Zarathustra Zarathustra led the ancient philosophers and poets. He came to Earth before Socrates and Plato, even before Confuscius.  His actual birthplace is unknown but the languange of his poetry point to the eastern part of today's country of Iran. Zarathushtra was not a prophet but wrote truly groundbreaking devotional poetry to his God, Ahura Mazda. His life and words inspired many people around him.  His followers (Zoroastrians) thrived in the Persian empire until the Muslims took over.  Those who wanted to keep their religion moved to India where they are known as Parsis (Persians). Think about their journey from their homes to a new unknown land and how their leader’s words kept them focused on their path in order to reach their goal.
