In any case, it’s a very bad sign concerning the man. It indicates malicious intentions on his part.
You might deceive your mind – but the body cannot be fooled.
If you’ve tried to arrange a date several times, and each time something serious happened that forced you to cancel – for example, an accident or his house suddenly burned down (yes, literally) – you should think carefully about whether you should meet at all. Maybe that encounter would truly turn out to be “explosive”…
Or perhaps once you were rushing to submit an assignment at college, entered the station, but for some reason the turnstile wouldn’t work – that’s a sign your work wasn’t yet ready to be submitted, and it’s no surprise if you ended up receiving a low grade.
Or maybe you were on your way to an important meeting. You always arrive early, but on that particular day, even though you’d calculated everything as usual and should have arrived ahead of time, something happened on the way, and you realized you’d be a few minutes late. This is a negative nimitta, connected to the place you’re going or the people you’re about to meet. Something there is “unclean,” and it’s a serious warning.
Today, in the modern world, we have the time to go on dates and get to know a partner before deciding whether to enter a relationship or start a family. Within several weeks or months, we have enough time to receive a sufficient number of nimittas concerning a man and our potential relationship. The important thing is not to close your eyes to certain situations and not to ignore the obvious signs sent by the Universe.
On the other hand, not everything is a nimitta. Therefore, one shouldn’t try to interpret every small thing one sees or experiences as something connected to one’s situation – it might have nothing to do with it at all.
The timing of when the sign appears is crucial for understanding whether it’s truly a sign or merely a coincidence. A nimitta may come at the very moment you ask a question, speak about something, do something, or think about something – and then it appears as a direct answer to that specific thought or action (like a question and an answer).
It’s important to pay attention if a nimitta repeats itself. Sometimes it manifests in the same form, and sometimes the Universe sends a different kind of nimitta. This usually happens when we ignore or fail to notice the first sign.
Categories of Nimittas
Sound (Shabda Nimitta) – for example: someone in the room asks a question, and suddenly, before anyone can answer, there’s a terrible noise from outside. The answer to the question is most likely “no” or “it’s not worth it.” Such signs carry special weight if they appear immediately after an inner question or thought.
Vision (Darshana Nimitta) – people or symbols that appear unexpectedly; observing animals behaving in an unusual way; or images seen in dreams.
Smell (Gandha Nimitta) – a pleasant or unpleasant scent that arises suddenly is considered a very subtle (sattvic) sign, more common among sensitive individuals, and therefore relatively rare.
For example: you look at a photo of a person and suddenly sense a disgusting smell, even though you’re in a clean environment – that’s a bad sign concerning the person in the picture.
Taste (Rasa Nimitta) – an unexpected taste in food or drink can indicate a positive or negative tendency at that moment.
Physical Sensation (Sprasha Nimitta) – sudden trembling, tingling, heat, or cold in the body. This is considered a sign of the influence of subtle or karmic forces. In places with ghostly activity, a sudden chill may indicate paranormal presence.
