Introduction:
Sometimes a person behaves well - he thinks good and acts good. But sometimes he (the same person) behaves wickedly evil thoughts and evil actions. This conflict goes on and on. And again, frequently we come across someone who earnestly desires to be self-controlled and changes his bad habits, who wants to be virtuous and determinedly get rid of his vices. He resolves to be good, takes vows not to go astray and makes a determined effort to change his way of life. But alas ! the vows and pious resolutions fail to make a significant change in his attitude and behavior. The innate bad habits do not change nor does the ingrained viciousness disappear. Questions then arise ; Why does this happen ? Why is the same person sometime virtuous and sometime vicious ? Why does one’s mood, thought and behavior change so often ? Why does self-control fail to make one a good man in spite of his earnest desire? Why can’t the behavioural pattern of a man be changed by vows and resolutions? Psychologists have tried to answer these questions, but they are not able to give full satisfaction. This is so because psychology does not probe deep enough. The doctrine oflesya1 alone provides a satisfactory answer to this complex problem of human behaviour.
One would have expected that a strong will power should be enough to eradicate bad habits from one’s life-style and when this does not happen, one wonders why. The fact is that man’s attitude and behaviour are not simple men functions, which can be regulated and changed at, will or will power alone. The brain does not produce the impulsive forces, which demand appropriate action to satisfy the urge. A pious resolution may, therefore, repress or suppress an evil urge but is not potent enough to destroy it. And the repressed impulse simply goes ‘underground’ in the subconscious pan of the mind, continues to fester there, and resurfaces with more vigour later on. Until one finds a potent weapon, which can destroy the evil impulsive forces, one cannot achieve a lasting change of behaviour. Higher levels of consciousness achieved by perception of psychic colours (Leshya Meditation) have the desired potency. Once the impelling forces of the evil urges are transmuted, there will be no need to resort to repression or suppression.
Modification of behavioural patterns of an individual can be brought about by modification of Lesya. Benevolent Leshya transmutes the forces from vicious to virtuous, while malevolent Leshya does the opposite. Both are transmutation of impulsive forces and not just the regulation of behaviour. The transmutation is a phenomenon of the micro-universe (bhava jagat) where the emotion-producing forces are generated. Leshya deals with the prime-mover of the primal drives. Change in leshya, thus, can change the fundamental personality factors of a person. And when the attitude activators themselves are changed, attitudinal change automatically follows, and finally the behavioural modification takes place.Naturally, the starting station of this journey is one’s physical body and the transport is provided by the electromagnetic radiations, particularly that portion which is known as zolour1 (visible spectrum). Colour is known to exert profound influence on a person’s attitude aivd behaviour. Perhaps no other primordial force has so profound an influence as colour. Its effect extends from the gross external personal behaviour to the subtle emotion-producing impulsive forces within and the range of its influence covers the micro-World of Leshya also. Colour reigns supreme not only over the entire physical universe but many facets of the psychical one also. By deciphering the secrets of colours and unraveling the mysteries of their profound influence on the mental states and behavioural patterns of a person, one can obtain a potent tool to purify the vitiated and distorted tendencies of man.Earlier it has been mentioned that there are benevolent Leshya as well as malevolent ones. There are three dark lesyds: krsna, nila and kapota and also there are three bright ones : taijasa, padma sukla. The dark ones are malevolent and the bright ones are benevolent. Dark black, blue and grey are the colours of the three malignant Leshya. When a person is under the influence of these leshya, his mental tendencies will be vitiated by cruelty, hate, jealousy and irrational fear. On the other hand, under the influence of three benign leshya, the vitiated tendencies are purified and transmuted into.Compassion, love, fearlessness and bliss. Bestial urges would vitiate and distort one’s mental state when he is under the dark black colour, the colour of malevolent krsna lesyd. A hundred sermons, a thousand pious resolutions, diplomatic training-none of these would prevent him from behaving wickedly. The dark impelling forces would be so powerful that the reasoning mind would be unable to exert any control over his speech and action. The malevolent leshya would first generate the bestial urges and instincts. Instincts would produce feelings and attitude. Finally they would demand an appropriate.
