"I go to a library. There are lakhs……" — T Joseph Benziger
"I go to a library. There are lakhs of books; all of them are very valuable and highly informative. Now what should I do? Should I start from the hall number one, rack number one and book number one and try reading all of them? Or should I just fall in love with an encyclopedia and become immersed in it? I would be simply lost in the mass of knowledge stored there and become an aimless intellectual wanderlust. I should look for that particular book, which is going to clear the doubt in my mind, and enable me to progress further in my current task. I need to gain only a general idea about the contents of the repository but should identify quickly what is relevant to me. Like that I should identify the field of action that is appropriate to me; in which I could do justice to the natural potentials gifted to me by Mother Nature; by which I could clear my debts to my parents, family, society and country; and become near and dear to God."
