Aphorism - 225, 226, 227
225Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice always, but for the sake of God and humanity, not for the sake of sacrifice.
226Selfishness kills the soul; destroy it. But take care that your altruism does not kill the souls of others.
227Very usually, altruism is only the sublimest form of selfishness.
How can altruism kill the soul of others?
By helping others materially (altruism), if at the same time you want to impose your own viewpoint on them, you will kill their soul, because moral and social rules can be no substitute for the inner law which each one must receive from his soul.
