aura, but the aura of a sādhaka, whose character is untainted, whose emotions and leśyā are purified, is powerful enough to withstand their onslaught. Its electromagnetic radiations are very powerful. It is impenetrable, and so whatever hits it is repelled and sent back without entering it. Even if someone curses a person with virtuous character, it will not have any ill effect on him (or her). Moreover the radiations from such an aura are so graceful and magnetic that people are attracted towards him.
The will-power of a person with pure character is very strong and successful. Consequently, all the wishes of such a person are fulfiled.
Self-Awareness
The doctrine of leśyā is a powerful inspiration for awakening. Awake and be aware. The mind wanders; be aware of its wandering. The hand moves; be aware of its motion. All this awareness is important, but not the most important. Most important is to be aware of one's feelings and emotions. It is the emotional tension which makes the mind wander and keeps it agitated. One cannot steady the mind by being aware of its wandering, nor can one stop the motion of the hand. The force which moves the hand and agitates the mind is the compulsive force of emotions and instincts. Only when we are awake and become aware of this force, can we bring about the change. The only way to do this is to remain constantly awake and alert. Let us be aware of our own true self-our spiritual self. Let us not be stupefied. If we are overwhelmed by stupor, we shall be unaware of everything around us, as if we are asleep. To keep the self awake and alert-to practise concentration and meditation, it is not necessary to indulge in narcotics, as some people do. What is needed is constant vigilance and continuous self-awareness. Let us stop our mind from wandering, so that it is free from its threefold activities
