are gross, one comes to know them roughly; but if these are subtle, one sometimes has no inkling of them at all. In such a situation, how is it that a man is not keen to know the results of his evil disposition? There are many in contact with us, who are impatient to see the results of their sadhana in the very initial stage itself, but they never think and say to themselves, "I've deceived that man, I've called him bad names, I've divested another of his livelihood, I've indulged in anger, in conspiracy, and God knows what else! What will be the result of all this? Who will come forward to share with me the results of these evil actions?”
It is an indisputable fact that every action is followed by certain consequences. At a very subtle level, the radiance of his aura may not be perceptible to a man. Nevertheless, it is true that no evil impressions can easily be transmitted to a pure aura. A man with a pure aura, is not influenced by wickedness at all. He also remains immune from the effects of evil practices. He experiences pure bliss. Then comes to him total freedom from fear. The chief source of fearlessness is right vision. Right vision makes the aura bright and a radiant aura destroys the feeling of fear. Only that man's morale keeps high who is utterly fearless. The worship of the deity, spiritual development, surrender to the soul, introversion, a mind free from contradiction, etc. are numerous points which · constitute a powerful testimony of the radiance of the aura. On the basis of these consummations, any man can rightly appraise his aura.
