7.14.1
āśā vāva smarād bhūyasī \
āśeddho vai smaro mantrān adhīte karmāṇi kurute putrāṃś ca paśūṃś cecchata imaṃ ca lokaṃ amuṃ cecchate \
āśām upāssveti \\714.1\
1. ‘Hope (āśā), assuredly, is more than Memory. When kindled by Hope, verily, Memory learns the sacred sayings (mantra); [kindled by Hope] one performs sacred works (karma), longs for sons and cattle, for this world and the yonder. Reverence Hope.
7.14.2
sa ya āśāṃ brahmety upāste \
āśayāsya sarve kāmāḥ samṛdhyanti \
amoghā hāsyāśiṣo bhavanti \
yāvad āśāyā gataṃ tatrāsya yathākāmacāro bhavati ya āśāṃ brahmety (S ) \
asti bhagava āśāyā bhūya iti \
āśāyā bhūyo 'stīti \
tan me bhagavān bravītv iti \\714.2\
2. He who reverences Hope as Brahma—through Hope all his desires prosper, his wishes are not unavailing. As far as Hope goes, so far he has unlimited freedom, he who reverences Hope as Brahma.’ ‘Is there, Sir, more than Hope?’ ‘There is, assuredly, more than Hope.’ ‘Do you, Sir, tell me it.’
