Preksa Dhyana - Theory And Practice: [04.15] Raison d'etre of Preksa Dhyana - Lesya Dhyana - Chemical Transformation and Transmutation of Lesya

[raison d'etre = reason or justification for existence]

Devout austerities, practice of yoga and meditation aim at internal chemical transformation. Missing a meal, fasting, body-postures, controlled breathing and other yogic exercises change the body chemistry. Confession and penance, humbleness, scrip­tural studies etc, are internal austerities. Cleansing streams of expiation wash and purify the internal distortions. Humbleness counteracts the evil effects of arrogance and haughtiness. All these changes are produced by chemical transmutation within the body.

Practice of meditation, however, is the most powerful of all which produces internal chemical transmutation. Perception of psychic centres (caitanya-kendra-preksa) and perception of psychic colour (lesya dhyana) produce astonishing results. The change is more profound and radical because there is a fundamen­tal change in inner structure of emotions. Perception of psychic colours on psychic centres produces forces and radiations which are diametrically opposite to those produced by karma. This tech­nique of meditation operates by

1. Producing benevolent colour waves which are able to neutralize the malevolent waves and
2. Transmuting the synthesis of impulse-producing hormones.
3. This double action successfully reduces the strength of the assault­ing force and foils its attack.
