Intentionally or unintentionally, many a time, we hurt others by our words or actions and generate negative feelings in their hearts towards us.

The vibrations created out of forgiveness construct an invisible safety shield around us. This shield is so powerful that it protects us from the negativity, evil eyes and curses of others.

Intentionally or unintentionally, many a time, we hurt others by our words or actions and generate negative feelings in their hearts towards us. These negative vibes spread in the universe, prompt situations or circumstances that cause sadness and agony in our lives.

The negative vibes of others (which can also be called curses) can bring many difficulties in life like economic losses in business, thefts, burglary, accidents, impediments during auspicious occasions, physical ailments, fear of unwanted events, anxiety, mental imbalance and sometimes these vibes could also lead to an untimely death.

When Shravan Kumar was killed inadvertently by king Dashrath and his parents came to know about it, they too left their bodies. However, before that, they cursed king Dashrath that his death too would be caused due to separation from his son. Later, when Lord Ram went on his 14 years’ exile on behest of Kekayee, king Dashrath passed away due to separation from Lord Ram.

Many such unwanted incidents in our lives too occur as a result of others’ negative vibes or curses towards us but we often don’t pay attention to the root cause of such incidents. Because of this ignorance, we are unable to bring about positive changes in our behaviour and malicious thoughts. As a result, we attract unwanted and unfavourable situations in our life.

If we want to avoid such adverse situations in our life, the first thing we have to do is that we have to pay attention towards our behaviour. Our behaviour should be positive and polite so that our words should not hurt others, cause sadness, harm, betrayal or mental and physical distress. Once we start behaving in a positive manner, people will start liking us, and their positive vibes will resonate in the universe and create pleasant situations for us.

Despite constantly watching our behaviour, sometimes we might unintentionally hurt others. Under such situations, if we realise our mistake, we should seek forgiveness both in person and in our thoughts.

It is however possible that many a time, we do not realise that we have hurt someone’s feelings knowingly or unknowingly and attracted his negative vibrations (curses).

The only way to get rid of this is to seek forgiveness in our thoughts from our spouse, parents, children, siblings, in-laws, friends, relatives and all the creatures of the universe (irrespective of their physical body form or ethereal body form existing in space and whether or not we had any relationships with them in this or a previous birth). In this way, by seeking forgiveness, we create a powerful safety shield around us and protect ourselves from being cursed.
