Do you believe in the Evil Eyes/ Buri nazar?

Ya,,, this is a mystery.

Whenever, I change my profile pic in FB, the next day me and my DH will have a quarrel.

This has happened around 4 times. I don't know how. So I have stopped changing DP in FB and has kept the image of my ring and stopped adding our pics.

Peace in home is important than the likes in get in FB.

 

I have not experienced this all times. Just a few instance that too with just specific people.

For example - Whenever I leave office early there is one particular colleague who asks me are you leaving early? He would teasingly add you wont get bus. Every time he says that I end up waiting in bus stop for more than an hour by which time he would be leaving and laugh at me when he sees me waiting still.

He get bus very quickly when I do the same when he is leaving early...:rant

In other scenarios the same colleagues evil eye does not work ( like waiting in lunch queue, availability of whatever lunch ordered etc) what a relief!!!

 

See, isn't this an evil eye effect.

 

Whaat??? No! I dont agree. Are you serious?

 

@CuteCancer Maybe he knows the frequency of that bus better than you? Try writing down the specific instances, days and times over a period of few weeks and look for the pattern.

 

There are certain people who find sadistic pleasure in lowering the esteem of others.In a cycle of events, good and bad, sometimes bad effects follow as a coincidence of the remarks passed by others.
This belief is so strongly rooted that we tend to be very careful, not exhibiting our positive points.There is a tendency to become proud of one's own merits, God made or man made , and that is where they don't accept failures as part of life and try to attribute it to evil dhrishti.

A child ,of its own hard work and merit, gets high scores and is openly appreciated in the class. Other children and their parents may get jealous, of course.But if the child continues to win, we are happy.But accidentally if the child gets fever or misses the top rank, we start suspecting the evil eyes.

My mother born in 1900 never believed in evil eyes.She used to say the nazar or dhrishti is psychological and is an elated feeling about the beauty/achievements of ourselves and our own children.This conscious elated feeling when it gets crumbled due to any force, there is a tendency to shift the blame on evil dhrishti.If we are not very sensitive about our own merits, the feeling of 'evil eyes' may not arise at all.
A tulsi plant may wither due to so many reasons. A person may fall ill due to so many facts.
Feeling jealous or envious about other's victory is a common human nature and it is to some extent absolutely essential to kindle competitive spirit.
If all the diseases or failures happen due to evil eye, those people would become sages whose words/dhrishti cast an evil spell.The fact that all problems have solutions either early or after a period, indicates that 'evil eye' is only a psychological
impression of the winner about his/her own merits and perpetual thinking about one's own merits knowingly or unknowingly makes one indulge in such beliefs.This sometimes results in lack of efforts and one tends to attribute failures on others' evil dhrishti and not on his lack of sincere efforts.

It is better to see reason behind our failures and try to rectify the defects on our side first rather than attributing it to evil dhrishti.Even Karmic theory does not seem to justify 'buree nazhar'

@1Sandhya - I usually try to leave early on fridays as I get into weekend mode sooner than others. I will check pattern then.

I would love to get back on this guy by breaking his evil eye once at least
