सुरंगामा सूत्र: राक्षसी प्रवृति व स्कंध का अनुभव करना, नौ भाग का भाग २

Only if your ego tricks you, your ego will tell you that you are already a Buddha and stuff like that, then you’ll be in trouble. Just watch yourself; don’t watch anybody else. Don’t even worry about somebody coming to kill you or anything. Watch your ego. That’s the worst enemy we could have. If people kill you, maybe you’ll die; OK, fine. Then you’ll come back again, you’ll still have this enlightening power, and then you will connect with another Master somehow. Because your state is already high, the Master will be easy to find. You will understand that you must find a Master, and when you find one, you’ll understand right away. Even if you have not reached the highest state in the last life, but you’re already on the way. So, if you meet another guy and you ask about going to Miaoli, he tells you, you know it. “Oh yeah, that’s the place I want to go.” And then you follow him. But if your ego misleads you, makes you think that you are a sage, a saint, a higher-level saint, then the demons can come and make use of that and harm you.

And spiritual loss is worse than losing a thousand lives, bodily. Very difficult to find that again. Very difficult to find a Master already. If you lose your spiritual power, it’s even worse; then you cannot find another Master, because you will be so blurred now. You will not understand that you have to find a Master or anything, anymore. You’re just completely mixed into the six paths of existence. You never think of anything spiritual or finding a Master even. You completely forget your purpose to be born as human. It’s the same in hell. I told you, I don’t want you to go to hell. You will not remember. You don’t know your Master’s name; you don’t know anyone that you can call upon to help at that time, because you’re doomed already, finished.
