The greatest of all goals to uphold is that no living being should be hurt in the slightest by you. And secondly, if you do happen to directly encounter a Gnani Purush, then you should remain in His satsang (spiritual discourse; company of Self-realized beings). By doing so, all your [spiritual] work will be accomplished. All your [worldly] 'puzzles' will be solved.
