In this utopian society, a person would not have to worry about the negative personal perspectives others form of one another or one’s economic status. Therefore, we have a better chance of being successful and achieving our goals because there is no preconceived notions of what an individual’s potential could be. But, in reality, it is impossible to live in…

As taught by all of the Manifestations, the Creator is formless, birthless and deathless. Zoroastrians refrained from making images of any sort, and do not worship idols. “Ahura (God) is everywhere at once. He is all-knowing. He knows what we are thinking and doing at this very moment.
