________________ Jocular, speaking vile, theiving, jealous, violent; Green his colour, of kapot leshya sure sign! Q. While discussing the current of feeling and the aura, you said that these could also be known from the conduct of the individual concerned. In order to identify an unclean feeling or aura, what attributes do we look for? Ans. Unclean, disorderly feeling or inauspicious leshya and a filthy aura can be identified from the instincts and actions of the individual concerned. Violence, untruth, stealing, lust, possessiveness, accumulation of material objects, mental, verbal and physical flightiness, pettiness, audacity, arbitrariness, sensual indiscipline, cruelty, excessive sleep, and sloth on the basis of these attributes, it can be concluded that the feelings of krishna leshya are primarily at work in a particular individual and his aura is predominantly black. The above mentioned attributes are possible only in a state of krishna leshya. The behaviour of all those possessed of krishna leshya is not similar. There can be wide variations. In the language of the Agamas, it is called chhathhanvarya, which literally means that the thought or conduct of one krishna leshya being, as compared to other krishna leshya living beings, can be infinitely 'more unfortunate' or 'more lacking in merit.' Envy, anger, pride, effrontery, ignorance, illusion, negligence, malice, wickedness, gourmandism, constant desire for comfort, voluptuousness, ceaseless activity, meanness and boldness-these attributes indicate the predominance of neel leshya. Crookedness of behaviour, obliquity of speech, duplicity and deceit, the desire to hide one's defects, false Jain Education International 228 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
