Swami Vivekananda�s views on the Gita are scattered throughout The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda published in nine volumes. The present book is a compilation of these views so that the reader is taken through some of the verses of the Gita along with the Swami�s commentary, as it were.
Desire, want, is the father of all misery. Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure. Desires must bring misery. The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the person who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.
-Swami Vivekananda
