RELATIONSHIP OF MERITS AND HINDRANCES
Question: Is it true that hindrances will increase in tandem with more merits accrued by a person?
Answer: The greater the desire to attain enlightenment, the greater the demonic hindrances will be. The more a person is being respected, the more jealousy will be invited. If you are to become a model employee, others will be jealous of your status. The taller a tree, the stronger the wind and rain it will have to withstand. No one will pay attention to a sapling.
