countermanded by the advent of benevolent leśya. The psychic yellow colour annihilates the evil influence of dark psychic colour of malevolent lesya. This purifies the aura and there is remarkable increase in the power of self-control. The practitioner obtains mastery over sensuality.
(Meditation of) Sukla Leśyā : Benifits
The psychic colour of śukla leśyā is bright-white like the light of full moon. This colour symbolises godliness, piely, tranquillity and emancipation. Meditation of this leśyā subsides the intense heat generated by the influence of taijasa leśyā and padma leśyā and emancipation follows. Sukla leśyā inhibits excitation, impulse, urge, anxiety, tension, passions and psychological distortions like cruelty, hate etc. and leads to complete tranquillity.
Self-realisation
A practitioner must not become complacent with his success with taijasa leśyā and padma leśyā. The goal is not yet reached. One has still to continue his pilgrimage and go further. Beyond and transcending the sense-organs, the mind. and the chitta, there is something else-the spiritual self, and our aim is to realise it. Self-realisation is the main objective of lesyā dhyāna and is fulfilled by the meditation of śukla leśvā. Only when we accomplish this, we shall be able to comprehend the distinction between the material and the spiritual or psychical.
The process of self-realisation is creation of nirvikalpa chetanā i.e. an exclusive state of consciousness par excellence, which is free from vikalpa i.e. wavering as well as emotions of like and dislike, and feelings of pleasure and pain.
