Learn Persian with Chaiang Conversation, Shah Name on the Creation of the World, Part 5 with Omid Arabian. Thank you for me.

Salom, Ovi-chan. Salihu-good.

Thank you for joining me for this last episode on the preface part three on the creation of the world.

I'm excited to do this final portion.

So I've noticed that this in your title, you had part three of the preface.

Can you tell us a little

bit about what came before this? So we have a little context. The preface, which is the very,

very beginning of the book, begins with bename of Godav and the John of Chirat. In the name of the

god or the ruler of John, of spirit, of life, and Chirad, which we talked about last time, that ancient wisdom.

That divine wisdom.

Exactly.

And so he kind of, in that first section, he kind of talks about this entity, right, this divine entity, and praises it and kind of gives it all kinds of titles and descriptions of this source of everything.

The second section of the preface is Gostan and Darcetal Yesh Chirat.

It's about the praise of Chirad itself.

And it's in that section that he gives us a better idea of what he means by cherat, right?

This ancient divine wisdom that seems to predate everything and it is kind of the source of all wisdom that we have access to, you know.

And so from there, he kind of then gets to Gostor and that of Farinash. So the section that we are reading, which has to do with the process of creation.

Well, and since you have it out, can you hold up for those watching this on video,

can you hold up your Shah Nama'amil?

Yes.

This is the one copy of the Shahna Maneh.

This is kind of the full thickness of it. Oh, incredible. This is one copy of the Shahanabe I have. This is kind of the full thickness of it.
