Chapter IV
Will as Brahman
"Will (Samkalpa) is, verily, greater than mind. For when
a man wills, then he thinks in his mind, then he utters
speech and then he employs speech in the recital of a
name. The sacred hymns are included in a name and all
sacrifices are included in the sacred hymns.
"Will, indeed, is the goal of all these beginning with
mind and ending in sacrifice; from will they arise and in
will they all abide. Heaven and earth willed, air and
akasa willed, water and fire willed. Through the will of
heaven and earth, etc. the rain wills; through the will of
the rain, food wills; through the will of food, the pranas
will; through the will of the pranas, the sacred hymns
will; through the will of the sacred hymns, the sacrifices
will; through the will of the sacrifices, the world wills;
through the will of the world, everything wills. Such is
will. Meditate on will.

"He who meditates on will as Brahman can, of his own
free will, reach as far as will reaches-he who meditates
on will as Brahman."
Narada said: "Venerable Sir, is there anything greater
than will?"
"Of course there is something greater than will."
"Please tell that to me, venerable Sir."
