Summary

This quote suggests that our abilities or "powers" can either be used in service of a higher purpose or kept solely for self-interest. When our powers are dedicated to something meaningful, they become infused with spiritual vitality and exhibit extraordinary strength. However, if we hoard and protect our abilities only for personal gain, they lose their vitality and become stagnant and unproductive. In essence, the quote reminds us that true power lies in selflessness and purposeful dedication, while self-serving pursuits diminish our potential.
