overnight. If any one thinks that he must reach the peak from the base in one day, it is pure fantasy. The climbing process has its own order. Nobody can ignore the order and jump up on the peak.
In the same way, one is not competent enough to practise leśyā dhyāna until :
(i) One is thoroughly conversant with numerous
physical and mental functions. (ii) One has experienced the subtle vibrations,
produced by the flow of vital energy, which is
concomitant with these functions. (iii) One has developed full competency to grasp and
perceive with equanimity the above-mentioned
vibration. (iv) One has attained, by sustained conscious effort,
the insight to interpret the functions of various psychic centres and their secretions (hormones).
Arrangement and Synthesization of Colours
It has been already explained that colour has profound influence on our body, mind, emotions, passions etc. Physical health or sickness, mental equilibrium or upset, stimulation or inhibition of impulses-all these depend upon our adjustment of various colours i.e. replenishment of deficient colour and removal of excess by associating specific colour with specific centre. For instance, deficieny of 'blue' colour in our body results in being short tempered. Meditation of blue colour removes the deficiency and the habit subsides. Deficiency of white colour produces agitation, that of red colour stimulates laziness and indecision, and that of yellow colour enervates the nervous system. Daily practice of visualization and perception of white colour on jyoti kendra; (rising sun) red colour on darśana kendraand yellow colouron jñāna kendra for 8-10 minutes will result in tranquillity, activeness and revitalization of nervous system respectively.
