Among all questions which are asked about the nature of existence,
after asking about the creation, the question about the order and
permanence of the universe is the most essential question. A common
answer to this question is that there is a Cosmic Order or Cosmic Law
which protects the universe from disorder. This Cosmic Order was
called rta in ancient India, and aša in the ancient Iran. It personifies the
cosmic, social, ritual, and moral order. Rta and aša are synonyms and
from the etymological point of view, were derived from a common
root. Rta (or aša) is under the protection of gods; therefore, if someone
transgresses its bounds, she/he will be punished. So all devotees and
even gods should harmonize themselves with rta (or aša) and behave in
accordance with its principles. If they act so, they will be qualified for
the title of rtavan (those who possess rta) or ašavan (those who uphold
aša) and will enjoy the everlasting bliss and prosperity.
