Boon is a blessing that everybody wants. The curse is something that nobody wants. In this post, I will combine my knowledge and experience to teach you more about them in detail. First comes boon. Everybody prays to GOD for boons. Most of the time, both the presenter and receiver of the boon are put to an advantage. The exception comes in cases where the receiver of the boon misuses it for selfish reasons. For example, there are many stories in our mythology that demons who received boons from Lord Shiva have become a headache for Him, and it was Lord Vishnu who had to end such monsters. This shows boon given to a reasonable person is beneficial to All parties, whereas, in the case of a wrong person, it can endanger The Creation. Also, blessing an unfit person with a boon might put both the presenter and the receiver at a loss.

Now let me talk about the curse. People curse when they are harmed, hurt, or ignored. Cursing reduces the power of both the Curser and the Cursed. So, it is advisable not to curse as much as possible. When someone curses an innocent and righteous person, such a curse becomes a boon to the cursed. A story in Mahabharata tells Apsara cursed Arjuna and that he will be a eunuch for one year for insulting her. Arjuna was righteous, and that curse helped him during Pandavas’ exile, where he lived as Brihannala for one year. At the same time, if the curse retaliates or has hostile intentions, then the curse is bound to happen. So, to come out of the curse, one must be righteous and not retaliate against the Curser. Instead, the Cursed must sincerely seek forgiveness from the Curser. At the same time, cursing someone must be avoided because GOD knows how to punish wrongdoers. GOD’s punishment will be bigger than any curse. Cursing leaves a Curser powerless. If one curses someone intentionally and unethically, The Curse will inflict on the Curser directly or indirectly.

This post is a Boon even to the Cursed ;)
