Chāndogya 7.5.1
चित्तं वाव सङ्कल्पाद्भूयो यदा वै चेतयतेऽथ सङ्कल्पयतेऽथ मनस्यत्यथ वाचमीरयति तामु नाम्नीरयति नाम्नि मन्त्रा एकं भवन्ति मन्त्रेषु कर्माणि ॥ ७.५.१ ॥
Mind is greater than resolve. When one perceives, then one resolves; then one thinks; then one utters speech. That speech utters the name; in names the sacred formulas become one; in formulas, actions (become one).
Chāndogya 7.5.2
तानि ह वा एतानि चित्तैकायनानि चित्तात्मानि चित्ते प्रतिष्ठितानि तस्माद्यद्यपि बहुविदचित्तो भवति नायमस्तीत्येवैनमाहुर्यदयं वेद यद्वा अयं विद्वान्नेत्थमचित्तः स्यादित्यथ यद्यल्पविच्चित्तवान्भवति तस्मा एवोत शुश्रूषन्ते चित्तँह्येवैषामेकायनं चित्तमात्मा चित्तं प्रतिष्ठा चित्तमुपास्स्वेति ॥ ७.५.२ ॥
All these have mind as their sole refuge, are of the nature of mind, and are established in mind. Therefore, even if one who knows much lacks mind, people say, 'He has no (knowledge)', for either this one knows, or this knower would not be thus without mind. And if one who knows little possesses mind, people even serve him; for mind is the sole refuge of all these, mind is the self, mind is the foundation. Meditate upon mind.
Chāndogya 7.5.3
स यश्चित्तं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते चित्तान्वै स लोकान्ध्रुवान्ध्रुवः प्रतिष्ठितान्प्रतिष्ठितोऽव्यथमानानव्यथमानोऽभिसिध्यति यावच्चित्तस्य गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यश्चित्तं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवश्चित्ताद्भूय इति चित्ताद्वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.५.३ ॥
He who meditates on mind as brahman becomes steadfast among the steadfast worlds, established among the established, and undisturbed among the undisturbed, and he attains fulfilment. As far as the reach of mind extends, he has free movement at will. 'Venerable sir, is there anything greater than mind?' 'Yes, there is something greater than mind.' 'Then let the venerable one tell me.'
