The context of the above quote is this: "Once, before delivering a lecture at a conference of Jewish scientists, I was privileged to a private audience with the Rebbe. "Since you work with solar energy," he told me, "tell the conference participants that you suggest that every Jew act like the sun.  Everyone likes the sun, not because it is so big and hot, but because it shines, projects light, and warms everything around it. This is what a Jew ought to do, according to the mitzva of ahavat Yisrael, loving one's fellow Jew. Who would even talk about the sun if it cared, G-d forbid, about warming only itself?"
