Musar к Авот 2:12
רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, יְהִי מָמוֹן חֲבֵרְךָ חָבִיב עָלֶיךָ כְּשֶׁלָּךְ, וְהַתְקֵן עַצְמְךָ לִלְמֹד תּוֹרָה, שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְרֻשָּׁה לָךְ. וְכָל מַעֲשֶׂיךָ יִהְיוּ לְשֵׁם שָׁמָיִם:
Р. Йосси говорит: пусть богатство вашего друга будет для вас таким же дорогим, как и ваше. И приготовьтесь изучать Тору. [Не говори: так как мой отец мудрец, а мой дед - мудрец, «Тора возвращается в свою гостиницу», и мне не нужно ее преследовать], потому что это не наследство для тебя. И пусть все твои дела будут ради Небес. [Даже когда вы участвуете в еде, питье и супружеских отношениях, мотивируйте себя не телесным удовольствием, а желанием быть здоровым, чтобы исполнять волю своего Учителя.]
Orchot Tzadikim
He who walks in the path described above serves the Lord, may He Be Blessed, always, even when he is engaged in doing business, even when he lives with his wife, for his intention is to fulfill his bodily needs so that he can serve God, Blessed be He. And even when he sleeps, if he sleeps, so that his mind will be refreshed and his body rested, so that he does not become ill and therefore not be able to serve the Lord, Blessed is He, because of his illness — that sleep with this intent is considered service to God, Blessed be He. And on this subject our Sages commanded and said: "Let all your deeds be for the sake of Heaven (God)" (Aboth 2:17). And this is what Solomon said in his wisdom: "In all thy ways, know Him and He will direct your paths" (Prov. 3:6).

And even though there is no immediate likelihood of damage, since it may potentially lead to this, he will remove it and dispose of it. Our sages, of blessed memory, said: "the possessions of your fellow should be as precious to you as your own" (Avot 2:12).
