Asha, meaning order and honesty as apposed to anarchy and hypocrisy is the most significant principle of the Anciant Persian religion . There are some events and tales they are coloured by the asha principle . The manifestation of asha in such cases is the result of a certain religious experience known as the exegetic experience . The exegetic experience is in fact a religious interpretation and every interpretation presupposes some prior knowledge and principle according to which the interpreter relates together various events and phenomena . this article introduces some cases in which the presupposition of the exegetic experience is the principle of asha . the argument is that the manifestation of asha as exegetic experiences has been the case mostly in the realm of political power and in the criticism and restraint of power Although it has been influential in the realm of individual relation and the natural order of things, thus providing social order and provoking civil progress.
