"Love others as one loves the self." The seeker is equally as worthy of love as those whom he seeks to serve.
The intention is what holds metaphysical weight. One's intention to serve others is what matters. That initial choice to love and to serve others is continually remade and purified throughout the incarnation.
To your second question, yes. Our culture tends to overvalue the "doing", that one is only of value if he is doing something. Yet, our being informs the doing. Prayer and meditation do great work on the inner planes and allow light into the web of our planet and into our planetary consciousness. We need those who pray and meditate. This kind of service is equally as valueable as an outer service. By all means, when the opportunity for outer service presents itself, take it! But rest knowing that your beingness is worthy and beautiful and a light unto the world. The lighthouse on the hill.
