The meaning of fire (Atar, Azar) in Zoroastrianism- fire is considered sacred for two reasons. First, it symbolizes purity and purification. The idea of purification through fire is evident also in Zoroastrian eschatology. Secondly, fire represents continuity and Vohu Manah (good mind). #ahuramazda

Menog (The Ideal, Conceptual, Pure Realm) and Getig (The Real, Tangible, Corruptible Realm). Menog is the pure creation, and simultaneously Getig was created by Ahura Mazda as well, it is here where the cosmic war is played out, and where humans are given free will to seek Truth. #zoroastrian

Integrity is a high virtue; Order and Truth (Asha) and the cosmic rift necessarily imply integrity as an antidote- good thoughts, words and deeds. With a proper alignment of virtuous acts reflective of each, each of us contributes to the triumph of good over evil, of Truth over the Lie. #ahuramazda

The beauty of Mazdaism is in its take on suffering and dualism. Good and evil exist, the world of the flesh and concrete is a corruptible form of the ideal world, where the cosmic battle is fought. Ahura Mazda does not inflict suffering to test us, rather beckons us to stop suffering. #zoroastrian
