What if the person trying to destroy your life is not your enemy… but someone sitting very close to you?
What if the same person who smiles at you, calls you, visits your home and congratulates you… secretly cannot tolerate your happiness?
And what if that person never performs black magic themselves—they simply pay someone else to do it for them?
I am going to tell you who can actually be behind black magic—and why sometimes the most dangerous enemy is the one you would never suspect.
Let me begin blog with one uncomfortable truth. When we think about an enemy, we normally imagine somebody standing against us—someone who openly hates us, fights with us, competes with us, or wants to see us fail. But when it comes to black magic, many times the most dangerous enemy is not standing in front of you. The enemy may be sitting next to you.
They may be eating with you, talking to you, calling you, visiting your house, congratulating you, smiling at you and asking sweetly, “How are you?” And behind that smile there may be jealousy, hatred, resentment, revenge or a deep desire to see you fall. That is the naked truth. A stranger usually does not know much about your life. But someone close to you knows when you are succeeding. They know about your money, marriage, career, property, business, children, foreign opportunities and personal plans. And sometimes, your happiness becomes their problem.
Jealousy begins there. And when jealousy becomes poisonous enough, some people do not stop at gossip, backbiting or damaging your reputation. They go much further.
NOT EVERY SMILE MEANS LOVE
Understand this clearly. Not everybody who smiles at you loves you. Not everybody who congratulates you is happy for you. And not everybody asking questions about your life is asking because they care. Some people want information. They want to know what you are planning, how much you are earning, whether you are buying property, whether your marriage is going well, whether you are travelling abroad, whether your business is growing, and what you are doing next.
And we foolishly tell everybody everything. Stop doing that. Everybody does not deserve access to your life. Finish your plans first. Speak later. Your private life is not a public noticeboard. Your plans do not need everybody’s approval and your success does not require everybody’s applause. Privacy itself is protection.
WHO ACTUALLY DOES BLACK MAGIC?
Now come directly to the question. Who does black magic on you? Many times, the person who wants to harm you does not perform anything personally. They pay somebody else. They give the supari. They approach a black magician, tantrik or occult practitioner because they want somebody disturbed, controlled, separated, financially blocked or brought down.
So understand the difference. The black magician may be the executor, but the real enemy is often the person who paid for the attack. The magician is the hired sword. The intention belongs to the person who hired him. And this is what makes black magic so dangerous—the person who has paid for it may continue behaving completely normally with you. They may still call you, visit you, attend your functions and congratulate you.
That is why the important question is not merely, “Who is performing the black magic?” Ask instead: Who has the motive? Who is jealous of you? Who feels threatened by your success? Who wanted control over you? Who could not tolerate your marriage? Who could not tolerate your money? Who lost something because you succeeded? Who cannot accept that you walked away from them? The motive often tells you much more than the face.
CLOSE RELATIVES — THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH
One category I have repeatedly encountered in my own consultations is close relatives. Yes—family. People find this difficult to accept because society teaches us that blood automatically means love. It does not. Blood relation is a biological connection. It is not a guarantee of loyalty, purity or goodwill.
Families can contain jealousy over property, inheritance, money, marriage, children, career, foreign settlement, parental attention and social status. One relative may smile when you succeed and internally burn because your life is moving faster than theirs. So stop living in fantasy. Family can love you deeply. Family can also betray you deeply.
And betrayal from somebody close can be much more dangerous because that person has access. They know your house, your routine, your relationships, your weaknesses, your family problems. They may have your photographs, belongings and personal information.
There is a reason I use the example of Judas. Judas was not far from Jesus. Judas was among his disciples. The betrayal came from inside. Remember that.
YOUR EX CAN BECOME AN ENEMY
Then comes another very important category—your ex. Ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, ex-husband, ex-wife, a rejected lover, or somebody who wanted you but could not have you.
Love can turn into hatred very quickly when ego becomes wounded. Yesterday the person says, “I cannot live without you.” Tomorrow the same person may think, “If you cannot be mine, I will not allow you to be happy with anybody else.”
Do not underestimate obsession, wounded ego, possessiveness or revenge after an ugly breakup. And an ex has something a stranger does not have—access to your history. They may have photographs, clothes, messages, gifts, personal details, family information and knowledge of your routines.
That is why I repeatedly say: if a relationship has to end, end it with dignity wherever possible. Why unnecessarily create an enemy? Walk away and move forward.
BUSINESS, CAREER AND POWER CREATE ENEMIES TOO
Then there are business rivals, competitors, colleagues and people fighting for the same position. Business is not only about money. It is also about ego, power, recognition and status.
You succeed. Somebody else asks: “Why him? Why not me?” That one thought can produce enormous jealousy. The same happens in corporate life. You receive the promotion somebody else wanted. You receive recognition somebody else believed belonged to them. Your business expands while somebody else’s struggles.
A mature person looks at your success and says, “Let me improve myself.” A poisonous person says, “How do I stop him?”
And the same principle becomes even stronger in politics, public life, business leadership, fame and positions of influence. Success does not only bring admirers. Success also manufactures enemies. The higher you rise, the more people see you—and visibility attracts both admiration and jealousy.
SOMETIMES YOUR HOME BECOMES THE TARGET
Another point people overlook is that black magic does not always have to be directed only at your physical body. Sometimes the target can be your home. Why? Because your home contains your family, sleep, relationships, food, prayers and peace. So if somebody wants to disturb the entire family, the house itself can become the focus.
This is why traditional occult practices repeatedly mention suspicious ritual objects being left near entrances—lemons, coconuts, ashes, threads and other items. I am not going deeper into that today because black magic directed at the home deserves an entire blog of its own.
But ask yourself something very simple. Who knows where you live? Who knows your routine? Who has access to your house? Once again, the answer may bring you back to somebody who already knows your world.
A HIDDEN ENEMY IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN AN OPEN ENEMY
An open enemy is actually easier. He hates you. You know it. You maintain distance. Finished. A hidden enemy is different. They praise you. They hug you. They call you brother, sister or friend. They may speak extremely sweetly. And this is precisely why you never suspect them.
So watch actions more than words. Watch patterns. Watch consistency. If someone is constantly flattering you, constantly asking about your plans and constantly entering your personal space, you don’t have to fight with them. Simply reduce access. Smile. Remain cordial. Say Namaste. And keep your distance.
You do not have to give your life story to everyone who asks.
DO NOT BECOME FOOLISHLY SUSPICIOUS
But now understand the other side. Do not become stupid and accuse every relative of black magic simply because something went wrong. “My aunt looked at me strangely.” “My cousin did not like my photo.” “My neighbour didn’t congratulate me.” Therefore black magic? No. That is foolishness.
Look for patterns—serious hostility, jealousy, threats, possessiveness, attempts to control you, unusual interest in your personal belongings or repeated strange behaviour during significant periods of your life. And most importantly, I also examine the birth chart because there must be karmic vulnerability operating through the planetary period.
One incident proves nothing. A repeated pattern matters. Remain alert, but retain your intelligence.
YOUR ENEMY IS NOT GREATER THAN YOUR KARMA
Now return to the central philosophy of this entire series. Suppose somebody hates you. Suppose they pay a black magician. Suppose the supari is accepted. Suppose rituals are performed. Even then, your enemy is not greater than your karma.
A black magician is not greater than God. Your enemy does not write your destiny. There has to be a karmic opening through which suffering enters. And when that karmic period finishes, the same enemy may continue trying but the effect begins disappearing.
The enemy remains. The jealousy remains. The hatred remains. But something has changed. The karmic door has closed. The Dasha changes. The transit changes. Your spiritual strength changes. And what disturbed you yesterday may no longer be capable of touching you today.
That is why I repeatedly say: Time always changes.
NEVER RETALIATE
And suppose one day you genuinely discover that somebody has tried to harm you through black magic. What should you do? Do not retaliate.
Do not run to another black magician and say, “Now destroy that person.” That is stupidity. They created negative karma. Now you create negative karma. They attack. You counterattack. They attack again. Then both of you remain trapped in the same darkness.
Protect yourself. Pray. Chant. Meditate. Follow the necessary spiritual remedies. Maintain distance from the person. But keep your hands clean.
The person who paid the supari also has karma. The person who executed the attack also has karma. Nobody escapes karma. God’s court does not need your assistance. Let time do its work.
THE FINAL TRUTH
So who does black magic on you? Sometimes an open enemy. Sometimes a business rival. Sometimes an ex-lover. Sometimes a rejected lover. Sometimes a competitor. Sometimes a relative. And sometimes somebody who has been sitting extremely close to you for years.
And sometimes the person performing the black magic is not even your real enemy. The real enemy is the person who paid for it. The person carrying the jealousy. The person who wanted your marriage disturbed. The person who wanted your money blocked. The person who wanted your career stopped. The person who wanted control over you. The person who wanted to watch you fall.
And that is what makes this world of black magic dangerous. Because your enemy may not look like an enemy. They may look like family. They may look like love. They may look like friendship. They may look like support.
Remember this line: An open enemy gives you a warning. A hidden enemy gives you a smile.
So remain loving. Remain spiritual. But do not remain naïve. God gave you a heart. He also gave you intelligence. Use both.
And now comes a darker question. Suppose somebody has already decided to target you. The supari has been given. Now the black magician needs a connection with you. Why does he ask for your photograph? Why your name? Why your clothes? Why your hair? Why your personal belongings? And what exactly can be done with them?
That is where we are going next. Stay tuned for the next blog revealing how does black magic actually enter your life?
Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
