'Reflection (dhyâna) is better than consideration. The earth reflects, as it were, and thus does the sky, the heaven, the water, the mountains, gods and men. Therefore those who among men obtain greatness here on earth, seem to have obtained a part of the object of reflection (because they show a certain repose of manner). Thus while small and vulgar people are always quarrelling, abusive, and slandering, great men seem to have obtained a part of the reward of reflection. Meditate on reflection.

In plain words: Reflection, meaning quiet deep meditation, is greater than consideration. The earth, sky and mountains seem still as if meditating, and great people show the same calm, while small-minded people are always quarreling, insulting and gossiping.
