By what signs wilt thou appoint the days for questioning about thy possessions and thyself? Thus to the Lord doth Asha, the Truth, reply: 'No guide is known who can shelter the world from woe, None who knows what moves and works Thy lofty plans. The most powerful Of beings is he to whose help I shall go on an invocation.'
— Zoroaster Ancient
