When you look at a kitten, what do you see? Do you see a deficient, inferior, not good enough, not evolved enough version of a tiger?
Or do you see a kitten?

The answer to the question “what does an enlightened person see when they look at people” is obvious enough: an enlightened one sees people when he looks at people.

But then this is really not what the question asks, is it. The question is: how does the enlightened one see people? How does the enlightened one judge people? What does the enlightened one think about the people he’s seeing?

When the enlightened one looks at the inferior, blind, deluded, asleep, unconscious, ignorant humans - what does he see?
The answer to this question is obvious enough: people. An enlightened one sees people when he looks at people.

An enlightened one does not see a potential for enlightenment that can redeem the terrible fault of not being enlightened yet, when he looks at people - he sees people.

An enlightened one doesn't see his own judgements, discrimination, prejudices, beliefs reflected in what he is looking at. That is what the human mind sees, that is what ego sees in whatever it looks at: it’s own ideas about what is being seen.

An enlightened one sees what’s there, without a “person who sees” getting in the way. An enlightened one sees what is directly. His feelings, opinions, beliefs and preferences regarding what he looks at do not affect his perception in any way.

The enlightened one does not place himself between himself and what he perceives.
When an enlightened one sees a human, the human is what is being seen.
