Through desirous thoughts
Sometimes when people see a smiling and healthy child, they unknowingly have some desire-related thoughts. As these thoughts are Raja-Tama predominant, the child gets afflicted adversely as their subtle-body is very sensitive.
Another example is when a female wears provocative clothing. The individuals of the opposite sex may have desirous thoughts about her. When these thoughts are generated in the mind, they increase the Raja-Tama in the individual having the desirous thoughts and affect the concerned female, as well as others in the environment.
Through envious thoughts
In some situations, an individual or negative energy gets bad thoughts about an individual, animal or an object or feels envious of their success. The negative vibrations generated affect the individual, animal or object.
One lady experienced that after participating in a dance competition and achieving first place, she fell ill and became bedridden the very next day. After her mother performed a ritual to remove the evil eye, she immediately recovered. As she had achieved first place in the competition, the others competing against her had had envious thoughts about her and this had a direct effect on her.
Through black magic
Black magic is a term used to describe a ritual where specific mantras and tools are used with a specific aim to cause harm to another individual. There are some people in society as well as higher level negative energies that perform rituals like black magic. Often the people in society that perform black magic do so under the influence of negative energies.
In the case of being afflicted by the evil eye other than through black magic, the power of intention behind casting the evil eye from a person can be up to 30%; however if evil eye is cast through black magic then the power of intention is above 30% and this means it is more severe.
Through negative energies
Black energy : The primary weapon used by negative energies is black energy which is a spiritual energy capable of manipulating any process on the Earth plane. The extent of this manipulation depends on the strength of the attacking negative energy.
Individuals who are distressed by negative energies are affected by the distressing energy that is released from negative energies. This is also a form of being afflicted by the evil eye.
Seekers of God who do spiritual practice for the spread of spirituality (samashṭi sādhanā) are at the forefront of the attention of negative energies. As they are working towards the establishment of the Divine Kingdom, the negative energies who wish to establish a Demonic Kingdom act to cause distress to the seekers.
Despite the attacks of negative energies, seekers of God have access to Divine protection and their spiritual practice enables them to overcome the distress and obstacles posed by the negative energies.
