You must keep silent about your own personal affairs and personal relationships. When you are dealing with your co-workers as a leader or as a co-worker, words about personal affairs and personal relationships bring down the entire spiritual work to lower levels and make it impotent, unmagnetic, and harmful.
Once you bring down your image to the level of your personal affairs, complaints, and relationships, you eventually build a low-level image of yourself and you lose trust or faith in yourself. This image is a thoughtform which hangs around you and discourages you in all your attempts of daring and striving. It weakens your faith. You no longer respect yourself, and people slowly lose their respect for you. When you lose your respect for yourself, you want to take revenge on yourself. You take yourself away from the Path and from the Teaching so that you do not have any reason to be uncomfortable with your image.
If you want to be somebody, something, in the progressive efforts of the world, he must not lose his trust and respect for himself.
