Human body is mortal, soul is immortal. Man gets heaven or hell according to his deeds like the Vedic philosophy.
There are two types of forces in the world : -
(a) Deities: Ahuramazada, symbol of Gods, is a great deity who created earth, man and heaven. He says, “Dont think evil, don’t leave the right path (truth), don’t do sin.”
(b) Demons: Ahirman is the representative of demons. He makes the people shaitan and take them towards hell. There is always a fight between deities and demons but ultimately Ahurnazada wins.
- Parsi or Zoroastrian philosophy is not an escapist. According to him, doing good deeds by living on the earth heaven can be attained.
- Physical and spiritual are two parts of the body and after death the former dies but the later remains alive.
- According to Parsi philosophy, the world is made up of air, water, fire and the earth.
- Avesta-a-Jind, the holy book of Parsis in which teaching of Zoroaster are preserved.
