Although in the above quote Maharaj might seem to favor "Service to Self" over "Service to Others" as defined in the R&C cosmology, this is a deceptive appearance as might be understood from the rest of the quote.
He clarifies elsewhere:
I want to attract attention to his statement:
Although in some dialogues he says he doesn't see any evil person, this is not from the point of our 3D reality, of course. It's rather like the "Law of One":
So, some of his teaching is apparently incompatible with the C's material but I think this doesn't make it valueless. Elsewhere, Maharaj does talk about "evil" as a fact, from our point of view. And, vice versa, the C's themselves sometimes encourage us to question good and evil. So, this is about the "multidimensionality" of reality.
He clarifies elsewhere:
His expression "Love of the Self" seems to be the basis of STO as far as I can say. I mean, STO beings' love for "others" is not really for "others", it is for the Self. To them, there are no "others", only the Self, I suppose (at least beginning with 5D, which is nondual).Replace self-love by love of the Self and the picture changes.
I want to attract attention to his statement:
I believe this is synonymous with the C's statement:Your love of others is the result of self-knowledge, not its cause.

Ra said:The Law is One. There are no mistakes.
