There	is	one	universal	and	transcendental	God,	Ahura	Mazda,
the	one	Uncreated	Creator	to	whom	all	worship	is
ultimately	directed.	Ahura	Mazda's	creation —	evident	asha,	truth
and	order	— is	the	antithesis	of	chaos,	evident	as
druj,	falsehood	and	disorder.	The	resulting	conflict	involves	the
entire	universe,	including	humanity,	which	has	an	active	role
to	play	in	the	conflict.	Active	participation	in	life
through	good	thoughts	good	words	and	good	deeds	is
necessary	to	ensure	happiness	and	to	keep	the	chaos
at	bay.	This	active	participation	is	a	central	element
in	Zoroaster's	concept	of	free	will,	and	Zoroastrianism	rejects
all	forms	of	monasticism.
