No matter what you do, karmic debts have to be paid at the due time. So, bad things happen not because of the negative influence of planets or ill effects of evil power as some people think, but because the time for payment of one’s karmic debts has come.
Moreover, you give power to the evil often with your thoughts. Therefore, when the conditions of life are bad, do not focus on negative things, giving more power to them. Instead, focus on positive activities while refraining from negative actions, and invoke God’s blessings. ‘Where there is light, there is no Darkness.’
