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\

'Aspiration surely is greater than memory. Kindled by aspiration, (one's) memory recites the hymns, performs rites, desires sons and cattle, desires this world and the next. Worship aspiration.

Swami Swahananda 1956, The Chāndogya Upaniṣad
