131:5.1 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroaster Zoroaster] was himself directly in [[contact]] with the descendants of the earlier [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_95#95:6._THE_SALEM_DOCTRINES_IN_IRAN Melchizedek missionaries], and their [[doctrine]] of the one [[God]] became a central teaching in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism the religion] which he founded in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Iran Persia]. Aside from [[Judaism]], no [[religion]] of that day contained more of these [[Salem]] teachings. From the [[records]] of this religion Ganid made the following excerpts:
131:5.2 " All things come from, and belong to, the One [[God]]—all-[[wise]], [[good]], [[righteous]], [[holy]], resplendent, and [[glorious]]. This, our God, is the [[source]] of all [[luminosity]]. He is the [[Creator]], the God of all [[good]] [[purposes]], and the protector of the [[justice]] of the [[universe]]. The [[wise]] [[course]] in life is to [[act]] in [[consonance]] with the [[spirit of truth]]. God is all-seeing, and he beholds both the [[evil]] deeds of the [[wicked]] and the good works of the [[righteous]]; our God [[observes]] all things with a flashing eye. His [[touch]] is the touch of [[healing]]. The Lord is an all-[[powerful]] [[benefactor]]. God stretches out his [[beneficent]] hand to both the [[righteous]] and the [[wicked]]. [[God]] [[established]] the world and [[ordained]] the rewards for [[good]] and for [[evil]]. The all-wise [[God]] has promised [[immortality]] to the pious [[souls]] who think [[purely]] and act [[righteous]]ly. As you supremely [[desire]], so shall you be. The [[light]] of the [[sun]] is as [[wisdom]] to those who [[discern]] [[God]] in the [[universe]].
131:5.3 " [[Praise]] [[God]] by seeking the [[pleasure]] of the Wise One. [[Worship]] the [[God]] of [[light]] by joyfully walking in the [[paths]] [[ordained]] by his [[revealed]] [[religion]]. There is but one [[Supreme]] [[God]], the Lord of Lights. We [[worship]] him who made the [[waters]], [[plants]], [[animals]], the [[earth]], and the [[heavens]]. Our God is Lord, most beneficent. We [[worship]] the most [[beauteous]], the bountiful [[Immortal]], [[endowed]] with [[eternal]] light. [[God]] is farthest from us and at the same time nearest to us in that he dwells within our [[souls]]. Our God is the [[divine]] and holiest [[Spirit]] of [[Paradise]], and yet he is more friendly to [[man]] than the most friendly of all [[creatures]]. [[God]] is most helpful to us in this greatest of all businesses, the knowing of himself. God is our most [[adorable]] and [[righteous]] [[friend]]; he is our [[wisdom]], life, and [[vigor]] of [[soul]] and [[body]]. Through our good [[thinking]] the wise [[Creator]] will enable us to do his will, thereby [[attaining]] the [[realization]] of all that is [[divinely]] [[perfect]].
131:5.4 " Lord, teach us how to live this life in the [[flesh]] while [[preparing]] for the next life of the [[spirit]]. Speak to us, Lord, and we will do your bidding. Teach us the good [[paths]], and we will go right. Grant us that we may [[attain]] [[union]] with you. We know that the [[religion]] is right which leads to [[union]] with [[righteousness]]. God is our [[wise]] [[nature]], best [[thought]], and [[righteous]] [[act]]. May God grant us [[unity]] with the [[Thought Adjuster|divine spirit]] and [[immortality]] in himself!
131:5.5 " This [[religion]] of the Wise One cleanses the believer from every [[evil]] [[thought]] and sinful [[deed]]. I bow before the [[God]] of heaven in [[repentance]] if I have offended in [[thought]], [[word]], or [[act]]—[[intention]]ally or unintentionally—and I offer [[prayers]] for [[mercy]] and [[praise]] for [[forgiveness]]. I know when I make [[confession]], if I [[purpose]] not to do again the [[evil]] thing, that [[sin]] will be removed from my [[soul]]. I know that [[forgiveness]] takes away the bonds of [[sin]]. Those who do evil shall receive [[punishment]], but those who follow [[truth]] shall [[enjoy]] the [[bliss]] of an [[eternal]] [[salvation]]. Through [[grace]] lay hold upon us and minister saving [[power]] to our [[souls]]. We claim [[mercy]] because we [[aspire]] to attain [[perfection]]; we would be like [[God]]. "
