The will is certainly superior to the mind. When a person wills, he starts thinking. Then he directs the organ of speech, and finally he makes the organ of speech utter the name. All the mantras merge in the names and all the actions merge in the mantras.
All these things (mind, speech, name, etc.) merge in saṅkalpa (intention or will), arise from saṅkalpa, and are supported by saṅkalpa. (That is the will decides the direction of everything you do. It is the soul of everything.) Ether and earth will, and so do air, space, water, and fire. (That is, it is their will that determines their work.) Through their will the rain wills, and through the will of the rain, food wills. The will of food is the will of life. The will of life is the will of the mantras, and the will of the mantras is the will of all activities. The will of the activities is the will of the worlds, and the will of the worlds determines the will of everything. Such is the will. Worship this will.
‘One who worships saṅkalpa as Brahman can attain any world he wills. He becomes true and attains the world of truth. He is firmly established and also attains a world which is firmly established. He is free from pain and attains also a world free from pain. One who worships saṅkalpa as Brahman can do what he pleases within the limits of saṅkalpa.’ Nārada asked - ‘Sir, is there anything higher than saṅkalpa?’ ‘Of course, there is something higher than saṅkalpa,’ replied Sanatkumāra. Nārada then said - ‘Sir, please explain that to me’.
