Understanding this quote
The speaker describes wealth as a responsibility held in trust, not simply as personal property. In this view, money and possessions should be directed toward “the betterment of society.” The reference to Gandhi’s “notion of holding one’s wealth in trusteeship” expresses an ethical standard: having wealth carries a duty to use it for wider social good.
