Sanatkumāra said: Speech is greater than the name. Speech makes known the Ṛg Veda, the Yajur Veda, the Sāma Veda, the Atharva Veda as the fourth, the epics and Purāṇas as the fifth, the Veda of the Vedas, the science of ancestors, the science of numbers, the treasure of the gods, debate, the one way, the science of the gods, the science of brahman, the science of beings, the science of warriors, the science of serpents, gods and humans, heaven, earth, air, space, waters, fire, gods, humans, animals, birds, grasses and trees, beasts of prey, down to insects, moths and ants, dharma and adharma, truth and falsehood, good and bad, what is known by the heart and what is not. If there were no speech, neither dharma nor adharma, neither truth nor falsehood, neither good nor bad, neither heart-knowledge nor its absence would be made known. Meditate upon speech.
Chāndogya 7.2.2
स यो वाचं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते यावद्वाचो गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यो वाचं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवो वाचो भूय इति वाचो वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.२.२ ॥
He who meditates on speech as brahman has freedom of movement as far as speech reaches. Venerable sir, is there something greater than speech? (Sanatkumāra said) There is something greater than speech. Let the venerable one tell me that.
