[1885]

The sage asked the spirit of wisdom thus: 'Which is that good work which is greater and better than all good works, and no trouble whatever is necessary for its performance?'

The spirit of wisdom answered thus: 'To be grateful in the world, and to wish happiness for every one. This is greater and better than every good work, and no commotion whatever is necessary for its performance.'

This is part III of the Sacred Books of the East translation of the Pahlvai Texts of Zoroastrianism.
