Chāndogya 7.14.1
आशा वाव स्मराद्भूयस्याशेद्धो वै स्मरो मन्त्रानधीते कर्माणि कुरुते पुत्राँश्च पशूँश्चेच्छत इमं च लोकममुं चेच्छत आशामुपास्स्वेति ॥ ७.१४.१ ॥
Hope is greater than memory. Kindled by hope, memory recites the sacred formulas, performs rites, desires sons and cattle, and desires this world and that world. Therefore, meditate on hope.
Chāndogya 7.14.2
स य आशां ब्रह्मेत्युपास्त आशयास्य सर्वे कामाः समृध्यन्त्यमोघा हास्याशिषो भवन्ति यावदाशाया गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति य आशां ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगव आशाया भूय इत्याशाया वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.१४.२ ॥
He who meditates on hope as brahman has all his desires fulfilled through hope, and his blessings do not fail. He gains free movement as far as hope reaches. Nārada asked: Venerable sir, is there anything greater than hope? Sanatkumāra: There is something greater than hope. May the venerable one tell me that.
