psychic expression which originated from the soul at the centre, manifests itself through triple activities of thought, speech or bodily movement in the gross body.
Leśyā-Endocrine --Action
Radiations of conscious expressions continue their journey in several directions. When they encounter città, the chief psychical executive of physical sovereignty, they bifurcate into two groups : one of these is the field of urges and impulses (bhāva) which will later produce feelings and emotions'.
This branch of psychic expression which is susceptible to the action of electromagnetic waves now enters the domain of leśyā, interacts with it and produces instincts and impulses. All impulses, good and bad, originate here, and are later on converted into emotions and feelings.
The domain of leśyā is created by the forces of the fruition of past actions, which are fully recorded in the karmaśarīra. Now, the adhyavasaya in the form of ultramicro-waves interact with the endocrine system. The compulsive forces produced by the interaction of adhyavasāya and leśyā finally reach the physical body. First of all they affect the endocrine system and its output in the form of chemical messengers. Then they become the agency to execute the orders of the karma śarīra. In other words, the release and distribution of various hormones take place in accordance with the fruition of past karmas. The chemical messengers use blood circula
1. The words emotion, feeling, passion, desire, etc. refer to subjective states of mind
with slight difference in meaning, depending on the context. The word 'emotion', for instance, is the most general and is used to mean all states of mind from the slightest change in mood to the most intense or violent seizures. 'Feeling' is more informal and refers to both weak and intertse states. 'Passion' was once used to describe strong emotions, but is now used to mean 'sexual' or obsessive feeling. 'Desire' refers to feeling of wanting or needing. On the other hand, the words 'urge', 'drive', 'impulse' and 'instinct refer to compulsive forces which produce the above mental states, and are, therefore, fore-runners of emotions.
