The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

Chapter V
Consideration as Brahman
"Consideration (Chitta) is, verily, greater than will. For
when a man considers, then he wills, then he thinks in
his mind, then he utters speech, then he engages speech
in the recitation of a name. The sacred hymns are
included in a name and all sacrifices are included in the
sacred hymns.
2
"Consideration is, indeed, the goal of all these beginning
with mind and ending in sacrifice; from consideration
they arise and in consideration they all abide. Therefore
if a person is without consideration, even though he
possesses much knowledge, people say of him that he is
nothing and whatever he knows is useless; for if he were
really learned, he would not be so inconsiderate. But if a
person is considerate, though he knows but little, to him
people are eager to listen. Consideration, indeed, is the
goal of all these; consideration is the self; consideration
is the support. Meditate on consideration.
"He who meditates on consideration as Brahman, he,
being permanent, firm and undistressed, obtains the
worlds which are permanent, firm and undistressed; he
can, of his own free win, reach as far as consideration
