It is said that Mahatmas/enlightened souls can tell everything about a person just from their matha/forehead
There are some 'clairvoyants' etc who have some powers as well
Jamdoots apparently also can see who we are when they take us to wherever we go after death
I want to raise this point. I think most of us get a reasonable idea of someone based on their face/speech etc within a few seconds of encountering them
Some people just have a 'look' which tells us whether they are 'rich' or 'poor'; honest or cunning, soft or hard etc
Given that we as mere mortals only have limited intuition/powers compared with mahatmas, why do we have any ability to perceive people in this way at all?
Has anyone here been very wrong about their initial impressions of someone they have met?
