JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada ends his purport to this last sloka of chapter seven by saying; This determined faith is called drdha-vrata, and it is the beginning of bhakti-yoga, or transcendental loving service. That is the verdict of all scriptures. This Seventh Chapter of the Bhagavad-gita is the substance of that conviction.
