The one who has entered into his inner being no longer needs to seek - he is at home in the kingdom of the inner being. Recognize that you should not demand from your fellow man what you yourself are not willing to give. The person who expects, for example, money and property from his neighbour, so that, in his laziness, he himself will not have to work, or the person who expects faithfulness from his neighbour while he himself is not faithful, or the one who wants to be accepted and received by his neighbour, yet neither accepts nor receives his fellow man - is selfish and poor in spirit. Whatever you demand of your neighbour is what you yourself do not have in your heart. If you have recognized your expectant attitude in wanting something from your neighbour, turn back quickly and first do yourself what you demand of your neighbour.
All coercion is pressure, which produces in turn coercion and counter-pressure.
What is bound has no place in heaven. Both the persons tied to one another will meet again one day, either in the fine-material life or in further incarnations. This form of binding does not apply to one's place of work. When, in your professional life, you have freely taken a position in a certain field of work, and the responsible person gives you duties that you should carry out within the framework of your job, you have already given your consent to that upon joining the enterprise. You have freely taken your place in the field of work and on the work team, in order to do what is assigned to you.
