Notes of a series of inspiring class talks of Swami Vivekananda delivered during his seven weeks' stay at Thousand Island park, U.S.A. on various religious and philosophical topics and recorded by Miss S. E. Waldo, an American disciple.
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
