Yes, obviously it does and in the highest possible way. What She is pointing out is the tendency to put the human before the Divine. The Divine comes first and foremost for the seeker of Yoga. Naturally as he grows in consciousness towards the Divine he automatically helps humanity around him. By his very presence, human beings feel uplifted. His works continue to help, heal and guide humanity through the Ages. But if instead he makes helping humanity as his primary goal then he is likely to get side-tracked and distracted towards the usual bylanes of social and humanitarian service wherein he misses both, his higher goal as well as the greater help he could have provided had he pursued his spiritual aspiration faithfully and whole-heartedly as the one most important thing. Buddha, Sri Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda all helped humanity and continue to do so by the force of their spiritual realisation, drawing and inspiring many towards the heights while religious philanthropists come and go without any lasting impact upon the human race.
Affectionately,
