AI explanation

This quote reflects Swami Vivekananda's teachings on wealth as a tool rather than an end in itself — money is valuable only insofar as it helps uplift others, and hoarded or misused wealth becomes harmful. Vivekananda frequently emphasized service to humanity (seeing service to man as service to God) over material accumulation, which is the philosophy expressed here.
