To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He divided the people into castes, at the head of which, and alcove kings, he placed the Magi, or priests, regu- lated public and private life, and, finally, adopted a penal system similar to that which we have seen establish itself in India and in Egypt. His religious reform was only such in this sense, that rejecting the many superstitions into which Hindoo priests had allowed the multitude to sink, he instructed all in the re- ligious principles of the Vedas, that is, the unity o f vQod in t...he Trinity. He gave to the Divine essence, par excellence, to the crea- tive power, the name of Zervane-Akerene. To the presiding principle of preservation, he gave the name of Ormuz. To that of decomposition and reconstruction, the name of Ahriman. It is exactly the Hindoo trimourti (trinity), with their sym- bolic attributes and role in creation. Zoroaster did not extirpate all the superstitions, which he, perhaps, intended to overthrow ; freethinker at first, he soon found himself in advance of his age, and that the populations were not ripe for such institutions as he lad conceived.
