Absolutely, direct giving creates a priceless sense of reward and is good for karma, it is certainly more fulfilling than simply keeping oneself sustained.
However that isn't the point of the quote. It means to never compromise one's identity. To never let your mind be enslaved by organizational tyranny. When you feed the homeless, you are doing so for your own personal spiritual fulfillment, not for the religious overlords who determine whether you get into heaven or not. Ultimately we are all one. What one makes of themselves is more important than what one does because it fulfills the identity of another.
