They understood the impact of your own psychology on you. The rest of it is you destroying yourself. Even if black magic is done to you, only ten percent may be the real thing. So most of the time, it is just psychological. Just certain symbols which indicate that this seems to be some kind of black magic will destroy your mind.

Tomorrow morning when you come out of your house, suppose there is a skull and some blood all over the place, once you see this, that’s it! You will become ill, your business will go bad, everything negative will happen to you because of a certain fear grips you. If I want to drive you crazy, I do not have to do any actual black magic. A little bit of it may be there, but the rest of it is your own mind driving you crazy. But what I have seen is, most of the time these things are psychological. One Veda, the Atharvana Veda is dedicated to the use of energies for both positive and negative. If positive uses are there, negative uses are also there. So can people do black magic? Definitely they can. When you are driving your car, is it good or bad? It can make your life or take your life any moment, isn't it? They are just functioning in different ways. The tiger that comes to eat you also has the same energy, a god that may come and save you also has the same energy. He has no attributes of his own.” That means it is just pure energy. Krishna replied, “God is Nirguna, the divine is Nirguna. It just depends on who is operating it at that moment.Īctually, five thousand years ago, Arjuna asked Krishna the same question, “If you are saying everything is the same energy and everything is divine if it is the same godhood which exists in Duryodhana, why is he functioning like this?” Krishna laughed, because after all the teaching, Arjuna was still coming back to this simple, basic, childlike question. If it becomes an electric chair, it is the devil. Is electricity the divine or the devil? When it is lighting your house, it is the divine. You can make anything – a god or a devil – out of it. Sadhguru: You need to understand that energy is just energy it is neither divine nor is it evil. Question: Can energy be used in a negative manner, for example to do black magic? What is Black Magic ?
