The purpose behind writing this article is to focus on the flow of energy in both religion and magic. Though it may be stated for the clarity of the readers that both these phenomenons are prevalent in the society since ages as they are considered a tool to connect with the supernatural. Both of them consist of a set of rituals and practices and are a part of social customs in various parts of the world.
Though it is worth mentioning here that both of these cannot coexist at the social level as there are areas in India itself where magic is considered to be a taboo. Even in some developed countries, religious practices and rituals are also considered to be regressive and are also tabooed. But I personally believe that religion is much more convenient to follow and much more favorable and benevolent for the society in general.
Concentrating solely on the flow of energy, it cannot be denied that religion teaches one to be selfless and benevolent and hence at the vibratory level, it creates huge amount of positivity and connects one to GOD, the infinite soul or the all-pervading Cosmic energy. But on the other hand magic is done for selfish, ulterior motives and is executed by borrowing a small chunk of energy from the cosmos and loading it with the occult powers, which have the scope of getting misguided or misdirected and hence disconnecting the practitioner from God, the infinite soul. Though, religion also has confirmed about the presence of occult powers e.g. in sikhism "Sidh Ghosht" written by Guru Nanak talks about various "siddhis" or occult powers, but a truly religious person is considered to be the one who even discards these powers to live a simple and a humble life. This is the beauty of religion.
