Man's success in life?in any field of endeavour?primarily depends on the strength and power of his will. In this small but illuminating book the author brings out the importance of cultivating this faculty in man and also its means. The readers are sure to find this booklet not only interesting and informative, but also of extreme utility in helping them strengthen their will and thus veer the course of their lives towards success.
After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains--one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These are states, and states must ever change; but the nature of the Atman is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it.
-Swami Vivekananda
