Naarad went to Sanat Kumaar and said - "Teach me O Venerable Sir. Tell me if there is anything greater than the name of the Lord."
"Yes," He replied, "Speech is greater than the name of the Lord. Indeed if there were no speech, right from wrong would not have been known, nor true from false, nor from good from bad. One would n ot be able to express what was pleasant or unpleasant. Speech makes all this known. Put your trust in speech."

"Attitude is greater than the will. It is with the right attitude, that one wills, then he reflects, then he utters speech and through speech utters the Name. All these are centered  in the attitude. Even if a person knows much, but does not have the right attitude, they say of him that he is nobody in spite of his knowledge. For, it is he who really knew little, and has the right attitude, people want to listen to him, for attitude to the union of all virtues put your trust in the Right Attitude."

He further explained - "Contemplation, assuredly is greater than even the right attitude. people who have achieved greatness in this world seem to have been benefited from silent contemplation. Thus while shallow and vulgar people are quarrelsome, abusive and slandering, great people show maturity and obtain the rewards of silent contemplation. Therefore put your trust in contemplation.

Contemplation means - silent thoughtful observation, deep reflecting, concentration of mind and soul upon God
