Chandogya

The Chandogya Upanishad is notable for its lilting metric structure, its mention of ancient cultural elements such as musical instruments, and embedded philosophical premises that later served as foundation for Vedanta schools.

Thirteenth Khanda

Memory is certainly superior to ākāśa (space). This is why, if many people get together but their memory fails, then they cannot hear or think or know anything. But if they remember, they can then hear, think, and know. Through memory one knows one’s children and animals. Therefore, worship memory.

‘One who worships memory as Brahman has free movement as far as memory goes.’ Nārada asked - ‘Sir, is there anything higher than memory?’ ‘Of course, there is something higher than memory,’ replied Sanatkumāra. Nārada then said - ‘Sir, please explain that to me’.
