Chāndogya 7.4.1
सङ्कल्पो वाव मनसो भूयान्यदा वै सङ्कल्पयतेऽथ मनस्यत्यथ वाचमीरयति तामु नाम्नीरयति नाम्नि मन्त्रा एकं भवन्ति मन्त्रेषु कर्माणि ॥ ७.४.१ ॥
Resolve is indeed greater than mind. When one resolves, then one thinks with the mind; then one sets speech in motion, and sets that speech in motion through name. In name the mantras become one, and in the mantras lie the rites.
Chāndogya 7.4.2
तानि ह वा एतानि सङ्कल्पैकायनानि सङ्कल्पात्मकानि सङ्कल्पे प्रतिष्ठितानि समकॢपतां द्यावापृथिवी समकल्पेतां वायुश्चाकाशं च समकल्पन्तापश्च तेजश्च तेषाँ सङ्कॢप्त्यै वर्षँ सङ्कल्पते वर्षस्य सङ्कॢप्त्या अन्नँ सङ्कल्पतेऽन्नस्य सङ्कॢप्त्यै प्राणाः सङ्कल्पन्ते प्राणानाँ सङ्कॢप्त्यै मन्त्राः सङ्कल्पन्ते मन्त्राणाँ सङ्कॢप्त्यै कर्माणि सङ्कल्पन्ते कर्मणां सङ्कॢप्त्यै लोकः सङ्कल्पते लोकस्य सङ्कॢप्त्यै सर्वँ सङ्कल्पते स एष सङ्कल्पः सङ्कल्पमुपास्स्वेति ॥ ७.४.२ ॥
All these have resolve as their sole refuge, are of the nature of resolve, and are established in resolve. Heaven and earth resolved; wind and space resolved; water and fire resolved. For the sake of their accomplishment, rain resolves; for the sake of rain's accomplishment, food resolves; for the sake of food's accomplishment, the breaths resolve; for the sake of the breaths' accomplishment, the sacred formulas resolve; for the sake of the formulas' accomplishment, actions resolve; for the sake of actions' accomplishment, the world resolves; for the sake of the world's accomplishment, all resolves. This is resolve. Meditate upon resolve.
Chāndogya 7.4.3
स यः सङ्कल्पं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते सङ्कॢप्तान्वै स लोकान्ध्रुवान्ध्रुवः प्रतिष्ठितान् प्रतिष्ठितोऽव्यथमानानव्यथमानोऽभिसिध्यति यावत्सङ्कल्पस्य गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यः सङ्कल्पं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवः सङ्कल्पाद्भूय इति सङ्कल्पाद्वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.४.३ ॥
One who meditates on resolve as brahman attains worlds won by resolve, firm worlds; becoming firm and unshaken, he attains unshaken worlds. As far as the reach of resolve extends, he has free movement at will. One who meditates on resolve as brahman—(the disciple says:) Venerable one, is there anything greater than resolve? (The teacher says:) There is something greater than resolve. (The disciple says:) Then let the venerable one tell me that.
