The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

1
Chapter II
Mind as Brahman
"The mind is, verily, greater than speech. Just as the
closed fist holds two amalakas, or two plums, or two
aksha fruits, so does the mind hold speech and a name.
For when a man thinks in his mind that he would read
the sacred hymns, then he reads them. When he thinks in
his mind that he would perform actions, then he
performs them. When he thinks in his mind that he
would have sons and cattle, then he desires them. When
he thinks in his mind that he would have this world and
the other, then he desires them. Mind, indeed, is the self;
mind is the world; mind is Brahman. "Meditate on the
mind.
2
"He who meditates on mind as Brahman can, of his own
free will, reach as far as mind reaches-he who meditates
on mind as Brahman."
Narada said: "Venerable Sir, is there anything greater
than mind?"
"Of course there is something greater than mind."
"Please tell that to me, venerable Sir."
