Chāndogya 7.3.1
मनो वाव वाचो भूयो यथा वै द्वे वामलके द्वे वा कोले द्वौ वाक्षौ मुष्टिरनुभवत्येवं वाचं च नाम च मनोऽनुभवति स यदा मनसा मनस्यति मन्त्रानधीयीयेत्यथाधीते कर्माणि कुर्वीयेत्यथ कुरुते पुत्राँश्च पशूँश्चेच्छेयेत्यथेच्छत इमं च लोकममुं चेच्छेयेत्यथेच्छते मनो ह्यात्मा मनो हि लोको मनो हि ब्रह्म मन उपास्स्वेति ॥ ७.३.१ ॥
Mind is greater than speech. Just as two myrobalan fruits, or two jujube berries, or two dice are held in a fist, so mind grasps speech and name. When he thinks through the mind, 'I shall study the mantras,' then he studies; 'I shall perform rites,' then he performs them; 'I shall desire sons and cattle,' then he desires them; 'I shall desire this world and that world,' then he desires them. Mind indeed is the ātman, mind indeed is the world, mind indeed is brahman; meditate on mind.
Chāndogya 7.3.2
स यो मनो ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते यावन्मनसो गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यो मनो ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवो मनसो भूय इति मनसो वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.३.२ ॥
He who meditates on mind as brahman has freedom of movement as far as mind reaches. Venerable sir, is there something greater than mind? (Sanatkumāra said) There is something greater than mind. Let the venerable one tell me that.
