1986.20.07 The nature of service to others

[Matt1]

"The nature of service to others is such that you will find again and again that you have nothing to offer except your very being. And yet, my friends, if you will investigate the nature of the one original Thought, you will discover that your consciousness, your attention, your sympathy, your compassion, your attempt to understand, is the most precious service you can offer."

This would suggest that the honest opening of the heart to another self is the nature of service to others. How do you open your self to the other self?
