Zarathustra

Thus spoke Zarathustra Thus spoke Zarathustra

Is attributed to Zarathustra the foundation of the religion of the worshipers of wisdom or worshipers of the fire, also known as Mazdeism or Zoroastrianism, the followers of this religion known it as the "devotion to the wisest, God". This religion is probably one of the oldest religions in the world, probably Zoroaster was born in the current Iran, ancient Persia, in the X before Christ.
This religion has influenced Christianity and Judaism. Zoroaster was also a thinker and philosopher, is one of the most influential sages of the ancient world with the 7 sages of Greece, is the author of numerous books the Avesta and the Gathas, that are hymns and songs to the wisest. In the West, occident, the prophet of mazdeism is known by the book: "Thus spoke Zarathustra", by Nietzche.
A beautiful quote is attributed to him, which is one of the greatest teachings of the Zoroastrian religion:

Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.

The quote is a synthesis of the wisdom, that is, wisdom is a good knowledge that is transform into thought, word and deed.
This teaching on the other hand reminds us of the interrelationship between thought, word and deed. In this interrelationship lies the idea of education, the teacher-student interrelationship, that is, we learn, by acquiring the word, that is, the knowledge and putting it into practice, in the deeds. And in the other way is taught by giving the word and the example in the deeds.
