The mind is superior to speech. Just as a person can hold in his fist two āmalaka fruits, or two kola fruits (plums), or two akṣa fruits, so also the mind can hold within it both speech and name. If a person thinks, ‘I will read the mantras,’ he reads them. If he thinks, ‘I will do this,’ he does it. If he decides, ‘I will have children and animals,’ he can try to have them. If he decides, ‘I will conquer this world and the next,’ he can try to do it. (This is the characteristic of the mind. If it says it will do something, it can do it.) The mind is the self. The mind is the world. The mind is Brahman. Worship the mind.
‘Anyone who worships the mind as Brahman can do what he pleases within the limits of the mind.’ Nārada asked - ‘Sir, is there anything higher than the mind?’ ‘Of course, there is something higher than the mind,’ replied Sanatkumāra. Nārada then said - ‘Sir, please explain that to me’.
