padmaand śukla leśyās begin to appearin the person's feelings, attitude and behaviour. Transmutation of leśyā is the only means to become truly religious. In other word, the malevolent trinity--krsna, nila and kāpota-is replaced by the benevolent trinity--taijasa, padma and' śukla.
It must be remembered that the change in synthesization of the outpouring of hormones from the endocrine system results in the attitudinal change. When the transmutation is established, the compulsive impetus to the bad habits vanishes. Krsna leśyā, the extreme malevolent leśyā is modified to nila leśyā and that, in turn, is modified to kāpota. Now the weakest of the benevolent trinity-replaces the kāpota
leśyā.
The frequency of the waves of krsņa leśyā is high and the wave-length is short. In nila leśyā the wave-length increases and frequency is reduced. This change continues and culminates in śukla leśyā where the frequency is practically zero and wave-length is infinite. The transmutation is total.
Purification of Character-Strengthening of Will-power
When a practitioner of the perception of psychic colours crosses the border of gross physical body and enters the domain of subtle body, he will know where and when the bright white, red and blue colours appear. He will also know how tranquillity, bliss and happiness are produced. A question may be raised : Why do the colours appear ? The appearance of colours is an auspicious sign. It corroborates that attention is not wandering, concentration is substantial and leśyā is changing. Change in leśyā results in purification of the aura which, in turn, leads to purity of character. Thus purity of character is proportional to purification of leśyā and aura.
