the soul as well as of energy. It is from the heart that the upward flow of energy begins. According to Âcârya Mahâpraj-a subtle energy is needed to destroy the karmâs attached to subtle body, tapa and bhavanâ are two means to achieve it. Today we see many physical and mental diseases are becoming incurable from allopathic treatment, here lies the relevance of meditation. Through the practice of perception of body, not only the energy equilibrium in body can be attained but also many, person's neural diseases, tension problem can be resolved. We find frequent reference of Mahâvîra concentrating on the tip of his nose that was an important secret of his health and for the equilibrium of mind. 8 iv. Change of Habits and Meditation
The purpose of meditation is to bring about transformation. Habits die hard. But Âcârya Mahâpraj-a has a strong belief that habits can be changed through the practice of contemplative meditation. By contemplating on the center of vigilance, self-awareness increases, a kind of deluded attitude that drugs can give us pleasure also transforms. The glandular secretions play a great role in the transformation of habits. If the glandular flow is regulated through the practice of contemplation on the centre of vigilance, corresponding bio-chemical changes in body occurs and the habits began to change themselves. Psychologists have certainly succeeded in bringing about some chemical change through various drugs and tranquilizers but no drugs can ever bring about a lasting transformation. Dhyâna is a powerful means of bringing about a complete change of habits 10 of smoking, drinking, chewing tobacco, drugs; habit of pâna-parâga and gutkhâ and the like many pouches, betalnuts so on and so forth. The scientists are in search of a cure to the vice of drug abuse but uptil now no effective remedy has been evolved. The kâyotsarga is like a tranquilizer (relaxation with self-awareness) one of the important practice can solve the problems related to addiction of intoxicants and can change the vital habits and pave a new direction to their life. 11 v.
