About This Quote

To relinquish selfish wants, one is free to allow others to travel their own paths under the will of God. This quote from Swami Vivekananda can be used as a reminder that we each have the right to live our own life and make our own choices and decisions. But we can also choose to live by the advice of Swami Vivekananda and relinquish those selfish wants so we can allow others to do the same. How we live – or don’t – really is something only we can decide for ourselves, but when we give up our selfish wants, it allows others to do the same.
