action. Thus the sequence will be : leśyā- urge or impulse → feeling attitude - thought action. It can be seen that whether one wants to or not, he is bound to behave wickedly. Subsequently he may regret his action and feel sorry for himself.
In short, so long as one is under the influence of dark black, blue or grey leśyās, he would continue to attract and assimilate from the environment radiations of corresponding colour. His reasoning would be overwhelmed by the evil urges and his thought, speech and action would also be wicked. On the other hand, when one has been able to transmute the malevolent leśyās and is under the influence of benevolent taijasa, padma and sukla leśyās, all psychological distortionshate, fear, cruelty etc., would be eradicated. Transmutaion of leśyā will result in the harmonization of neuro-endocrine secretions. This will immensely strengthen his capacity of rational thinking and conscious reasoning. There will not be any need for repression or suppression. Rational judgement will resolve the conflict of instincts. Dangerous compulsive force would cither be nullified or creatively utilised.
Concentrated perception of psychic colours (leśyā dhyānu) as discussed in the subsequent chapters is the means of transmuting leśya. When krsna, nila and kāpota leśyās are transmuted to taijasa, padnia and śukla leśyās, then and only then, one can achieve attitudinal change and behavioural modification.
