      There is no such thing about Nazar lagna, it’s just blind thinking due to some fear or other circumstances. We need to get over these fake beliefs

      As per Gubani NAZZAR and such other stuff are just supperstitions and take our mind away form our faith in the verse:

      ਤੂੰ ਕਰਤਾ ਕੀਆ ਸਭੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਕਿਆ ਕੋ ਕਰੇ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥ (ਮ:੪, ਪੰ:੪੨੨)
      (You, the ੴ (IKKO, The One) are the Creator, all is your Creation, what can a person do? implying no person can do anything like NAZZAR LAUNHI).

      As per Gurbani all such superstitions are taking one away from the ੴ (IKKO, The One).
      In the following verse, Gurbani ask Sikhs to have faiht in ੴ (IKKO, The One) this the unshaking responsibility / belief / base.
      ਤਜਿ ਸਭਿ ਭਰਮ ਭਜਿਓ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ॥ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਅਟਲ ਇਹੁ ਧਰਮੁ ॥੪॥੮੦॥੧੪੯॥(ਮ:੫, ਪੰ:੧੯੫)

      another verse:
      ਕਿਆ ਓਹੁ ਖਟੇ ਕਿਆ ਓਹੁ ਖਾਵੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਹਸਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਇਆ ॥
      (ਮ:੪, ਪੰ:੩੦੭)
      (What will he earn and what will he eat, when he is worried due to supperstitions.)
      The implyiication is that unders the influence of supperstitions, one is going in circles without any success.

      I just remembered another more appropriate quote from Gurbani addressing the issue of NAZZAR.

      ਮਾਰੈ ਰਾਖੈ ਏਕੋ ਆਪਿ ॥ ਮਾਨੁਖ ਕੈ ਕਿਛੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਹਾਥਿ ॥ (ਮ:੫, ਪੰ:੨੮੧)
      ( All is under the control of ੴ (IKKO, The One), man has no powers)
      Implying there is no such thing as osmeone’s NAZZAR LAGG GAYEE.
