RUN BEFORE YOUR KARMIC OBSTACLES CATCH-UP WITH YOU
Master Jun Hong Lu: Whatever causes that put you off from spiritual cultivation are your own karmic obstacles.
When you think, “Oh, I‘m too lazy to wake up in the morning” – this is the effect of your karmic obstacle!
When your family members obstruct your practice – this is another effect of your karmic obstacle!
When you say, “I have children; my hands are full; I am too busy to even pray, go out to help others, etc” – once again, the effect of your karmic obstacle!
All these hindrances are due to your karmic obstacles. One fine day, when your karmic obstacles erupt and you suffer a car accident, you cry, “Oh, Master, Please help me!”.
And, there you are wondering, “Where did this karmic obstacle come from?” This is where it comes from!
Every day you are accumulating little karmic obstacles, and before you know it, a major karmic obstacle is formed.
