It Is Great., i Changed my believe from Islam ( full of Crime and stupidities ) to Zoroastrian Philosophy . I think I did the best for me and my family
What Zarathustra's doctrine says about resurrection? It's interesting because not only Muslims or Christians believe in resurrection but even people in ancient Egypt believed in this. That's why in ancient Egypt they tried to keep dead bodies in the best condition it was possible for the body could accept its soul back. On the Internet I visited a website about Zoroastrianism and there was a line that Zoroastrians believe in resurrection too. But professor K.D. Irani said there is no way to come back after death to the way of life in the flesh. It was the question about reincarnation though.
The gathas suggest that the rightious go into a state of 'best consciousness' suggesting its not a physical reserrection but a mental state of peace and bliss.
What if there is a hidden deceit in the act that a person chooses, but it seems morally correct ? We act with limited information, like the playing of a game of chess. Limited because everything appears in front of us, but the internal logic of the situation might be obscured. This system does not account for the possibility of expanding complexity of situations. Our agency is surely limited by the amount of poison' we can stomach?
My understanding would be to act with sincerity according to the information you have - if you are pretending to good deeds with insincere intentions Ahura Mazda/the Universe will know; nothing can be hidden, it is automatically known & accounted for
As we expand our options we also constrict them, just like a chess game; the downside is that we can't rewind the clock, take a move back, and create another set of options, level of complexity or simplicity.
Real life interactions affect wellbeing of individuals involved. Wellbeing of individuals radiates outward affecting their family, their community, and in some cases families on another continent. eg current refugee and climate crises. 29:43
Knowing that in the chess game of life every pawn has a life, helps us consider consequences of our actions; so we interact not from fear, nor for greed, but for living with inner peace. 31:09
This would allow us to examine & see the "hidden deceit" you referred to, not just in our own actions but in the thoughts, actions & words of others. By identifying Deceit, Fear & Greed, we can focus (to the best of our ability) on fair "exchange of value" 27:02

Can anyone suggest a good read on these books? Are there translations of Avesta (the collection of all the Gathas ..etc)? Either in Farsi or English
Alin sh yes read Dr Ali Akbar Jafarey’s translation
D.J. Irani's translation (Prof Irani's father) is available online as a PDF, with a forward by Rabindranath Tagore. See zarathushtra.com
