Satan the Parasite

There happen to be three kinds of actions:
1. Those intended at self gain.
2. Those intended at other's gain.
3. Those intended at meeting God's expectations.

Allah Subhana Wa Ta Aala (God most high): says in the holy Quran
" And then there are men who spend their lives seeking the pleasures of Allah,
And Allah is Most merciful to it's devotees"

When I say God, what do you understand ?
God is a very broad concept when kept in the perspective of the contemporary seeker. The word narrow has come to display negative connotations in our times as it displays a lack of acceptance of the other view (or the other's view!), but what do you do with your focus when you are sure to be on the right path, when the fallacies of the other view are blatantly visible ?
Do you continue hypocritically accepting their views and call yourself 'tolerant' ?,
or do you close your eyes to the self destruction of a fellow human? , who's probably a friend too.
We forget that ideally, all actions with a clear goal are focussed and all those with an unclear direction are safely enacted in a broad manner - in a manner that is tolerant of other ways.

{God has been most aptly, crisply, clearly described in the compilation of his characteristics as described by the Asma-Al-Husna (the most beautiful names) http://sufism.org/foundations/ninety-nine-names) }

So if a striver of truth performs intends to follow the right path,
what should his intentions be inclined at ? ... to answer this one must choose among the three types of actions mentioned at the beginning.
