        In this paper, by using descriptive-analytical method, the authors try to consider the concept of "the perfection of Demons and Amesha Spenta" in Avestan language. By delving deeply into the vocabulary structure and the comparative concepts, it is attempted to present a new version of the subject. Dualism can be found in all the details and practices of Mazda religion and has a "tree-like" function; as we move from the root to the details, the proliferation in quantity becomes more apparent while the fundamental properties of the root can be pursued in the sub-branches and details. What constitutes the roots of this dualism is the first confrontation of Ahura Mazda with Ahriman in which Ahura Mazda creates the Amesha Spenta and, in retaliation, Ahriman creates Demons. The detailed analysis of the characteristics of each member of these two groups (Amesha Spenta and Demons) reveals the details of the dualism and the hidden angles of the confrontation. The most effective method to achieve this is to examine and compare the traits of them. This method paves the way for other confrontations that exist in the sub-branches of this "tree-like" system and manifest in the form of and Ahuraic Ormazdian and Ahrimanian creatures.

        Aryanians believe in good and evil since a long time ago. Evil versus godly. Aryanians attribute rain, brightness etc ... to goodness and godly and darkness, drought and such, to the evils. Therefore good spirits which protect brightne'>S, heat and life have always been in challenge with bad spirits like darkness and drought. Their battles take place between the earth and the sky. the belief of "Dualism" has been existed amongst the Iranians and Indian- Iranian Aryanians for long before Zaratousht. But Zaratousht had a unique approach in citing his theories. His doualism theory has monotheism basis behind it. However good and evil are not different individuals both have been created by Auramazda Manuscript profile
