THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON WITH LESS THAN 20% OF KARMIC OBSTACLES
Question: What are the characteristics of a person with less than 20% of karmic obstacles? Kindly advise us, Master.
Answer: Their state-of-mind. People with less than 20% of karmic obstacles possess a high state-of-mind. They won’t engage in fights or quarrels. You can always see smiles on their faces. Take a look at those who always pull a long face, do you believe their karmic obstacles are less than 20%? One can often discern this by looking at a person’s face.
Only people with less than 20% karmic obstacles have smiles on their faces. They are unlike those who are always grumpy, resenting others and complaining about everything around them.
As for you, based on what I see from your face, it is below 10%. This is because in my heart, there is only goodness. Hence, I see everyone through that positive lens of ‘below 10%’.
If you place Buddha in your heart, you will see others as Buddha. On the contrary, with a demon in your heart, you will view everyone as ghosts and evils. Those who see the good in others are people with ‘goodness’ in their heart; they are the kindest. Do you understand?
