Illumination Through Asha: Finding the Path When We Feel Lost
In Zoroastrianism, the path of life is illuminated by Asha —truth, order, and the divine will of Ahura Mazda. Yet, there are moments when we feel lost, as though the light of Asha is distant, and the chaos of Druj (deception) clouds our way. These moments of disorientation are not signs of failure but sacred opportunities. They challenge us to deepen our understanding, align ourselves with truth, and return to the divine path. To be lost is not to be abandoned; it is to be called.
