Insist only on liberation. In all other circumstances and situations remain without any insistence. Nothing is poisonous, only your insistence is poison.  I am stating this very candidly: Any path that requires you to make any effort is a worldly path and will not liberate you. Have desire for liberation only.  If you were to desire liberation just once, then after a hundred thousand lifetimes, you would encounter a Gnani and you would achieve liberation.  Liberation means to be completely free, freedom from all worldly miseries.  Efforts are needed for the daily mundane life but not for attaining liberation, because liberation is the very nature of the Self. Water by nature is cool and one has to make an effort to heat it but is any effort required to cool it?  No, no effort is required, it cools on it’s own because that is its nature. But how can you understand this?  By nature you are free but dense illusion and ignorance prevents you from knowing this.  This illusion can never be destroyed until you meet a Gnani Purush.  The Gnani Purush will destroy this illusion for you, so look for a Gnani Purush.  Look for a living Gnani Purush.
