The word 'dhristi' (Evil Eye)
traces its origin from Sanskrit and its literal meaning is 'sight'.
In modern linguistics its usage signifies 'evil eye' or rather 'casting
an evil-eye' Dhristi is not a concept borrowed from superstitions.
Science explains it as the flow of negativity that affects the person
or object towards which it is directed.
Origin of negativity/ negative energy
Every thought form is associated with
energy. Just as blessings and good thoughts have a positive aura
about them, so also negative emotions harness harmful or negative
energy.
Sources of these negative energies are, people who give way to:
Jealousy
Sense of discrimination/comparison
- The feeling that other people are better than you, thereby leading
to frustrations.
Spirit of vengeance/retaliation : People who curse spitefully
seeing the prosperity of their rivals.These emotions may not manifest
or surface out but their presence even at the subconscious level
can be destructive.
Drishti results in:
1. Uneasiness
2. Lack of interest
3. Sudden illness
4. Prolonged illness (without any reason).
The Vedic perspective
The vedas have described four kinds of people
1. The Satpurushas: who help others without caring for their own
well-being
2. The Samanyas: Who help others considering the position of the
self
3. Manushya Rakshasas: who extract benefits by disturbing the welfare
of other people.
4. People who harm others without any purpose
According to the vedas, people who belong to the last two categories(described
above) are most likely to cast an evil eye.
