________________
Citta is a link between the innermost consciousness (from which it receives its directives) on the one hand, and the external aura on the other. Citta and aura reflect each other, i.e. when citta is pure, aura is also pure and when citta is contaminated, aura is also contaminated.
Our attitude on one side, and our thoughts, physical postures and gestures on the other, mutually affect each other.
For instance, scowl is a sign of anger. Now, if a person who is in a peaceful state, starts scowling, anger will be induced in him. On the other hand, adoption of a smiling face is likely to drive away the anger.
Aura of Saintly Persons
Age, sex, caste or creed of a person do not seem to have any significant effect on his aura. In other words, auras of all normal and healthy people of different ages etc. are almost identical. But the auras of ascetics and saintly persons are significantly different from those of ordinary people. They are brighter. The character of a person can be deduced from his aura. The aura of a person with high moral character is bright and powerful. It will remain unaffected by external forces. Such a person will remain well protected by his aura from the assault of the various external factors. Evil radiations cannot penetrate his aura. Such a person will not be perturbed or agitated by an external invasion. If anything invades him, it will be repulsed and made to retreat. It will be prevented from entering. Such a person would not suffer the evil effects of a curse. A person with a powerful and pure aura will always be sucessful in his ventures.
