Comparison of the two paths

[Confused]

What would an STO and STS adept have in common? What do people embarking on the paths have in common?

Both serve the One Infinite Creator faithfully, in their self-chosen modes.

That is the most common thing I can think of.

From 18.13 --

All serve the One Creator. There is nothing else to serve, for the Creator is all that there is. It is impossible not to serve the Creator. There are simply various distortions of this service.

I think adepts serve consciously, while those who are not aware of the lessons of evolution grope around till they come to the required turning point.
