Books Quote by T Joseph Benziger
“Indian ancient literature refers to this inner commitment as a sankalpa; and deals with it elaborately. The inner commitment is all the more important because, without this there cannot be an external commitment. Unless our inner commitment is logical, clear and strong, we cannot concentrate on the chosen task.”
