wants to make his aura radiant, must first of all concentrate on purifying his feelings. When the purification of feelings aims at promoting awareness and alertness, a transformation of the aura begins of itself. As sadhana for awareness and alertness matures, the aura becomes brighter and still more bright. There is a way to achieve it-constant practice of preksha and anupreksha.
Q. Can the direction of life be changed by merely
making the purification of feelings as one's aim?
Ans. The determination of one's aim brings about - integrated thinking. This intensifies mental impressions. Such deep impressions can be a chief factor in changing one's direction of life. Many women are so conditioned that if a bad thought enters their mind, they cannot rest content until they altone for it by doing some penance. Such a development would be unimaginable in the case of an aimless person. So there should not be any difficulty in recognizing that the determination of a goal is a prominent factor in changing the direction of one's
life.
