Plain text of Seventh Prapathaka · Fifth Khanda

7.5.1 "Thought, assuredly, is more than conception. Verily, when one thinks, then he forms a conception, then he has in mind, then he utters speech, and he utters it in name. The sacred sayings are included in name; and righteous works in the sacred sayings.

7.5.2 Verily, these things are established on thought. Therefore, even if one who knows much is without thought, people say of him: 'He is not anybody, whatever he knows! Verily, if he did know, he would not be so without thought!' On the other hand, if one who knows little possesses thought, people are desirous of listening to him. Truly, indeed, thought is the support of these things. Honor thought as a gift of God.

7.5.3 He who honors thought as a gift of God, as far as thought goes, so far he has freedom, he who honors thought as a gift of God."

"Is there, Sir, more than thought?"

"There is, assuredly, more than thought."

"Do you, Sir, tell me it."
