Don't you think that making the choice, deep within, means to always making the choice to serve others, no matter what? And then, if/when one encounters catalysts, one can balance/work with them later, in for instance meditation/contemplation etc? But when in the situation so to speak, one chooses automatically to always serve other selves, because of that choice already made/realized/accepted on all levels of the self? So yeah, one pushes oneself to serve in one way, but can court the deep mind later, in for instance meditation, on the other hand?
