FOUNDATION OF MENTAL PEACE
What leshya? What colour? And what
the fruit thereof? Listen with a tranquil mind to awaken
the soul within! Call it etheric body, call it subtle feeling, Leshya is its name; understand it patiently. Material environment known by the
name of leshya Is an atomic glow, a unique reflugence! Two forms it has concomitant, material
and spiritual; Matter being a consummation of atoms,
and of diligence foremost. And that which the yogis call the envelope
of light, Is leshya, combination of material atoms, A conjunction from which feelings originate; It is this cycle of feeling that activates
the aura.
