2. Blue thought colour : The living being of this thought colour (leshya) are
jealous, deceitful and prone to mundane enjoyments. The cruelty in these
living being is a little less then the one in these mentioned at number one. 3. Pigeon like thought colour : In the living beings of this leshya, a subtle
stage of contemplation appears. But due to the rigidity in thoughts, his contemplation remains subdued. So this leshya is also not good. Yellow thought colour : This leshya is good. The person of this thought colour thinks of the welfare of others also while thinking of his own happiness. Humility, compassion, welfare of others are the symptoms of this
leshya. 5. Padma thought colour : This is a very good leshya. The person of this
nature spreads the fragrance of his good conduct, good contemplation and noble talk all around. White thought colour : Shukla means white. The person of this leshya is devoid of attachment and hatred. His contemplation is crystal clear. He does not cause any harm to others. He has a feeling of compassion even
for those who cause harm to him. Among the above six thought colours (leshya), the first three are worthy to be discarded and the last three should be practiced
Repentance about the state of fear : A monk practices fearlessness. He is himself free from fear and grants freedom from fear to others. Since he grants freedom from fear to others, he always remains liberated from fear. Even then sometimes as a result of operation of deluding karma, a sense of fear may arise in his heart. He, then, clears his heart through repentance for fear that may arise in seven forms: 1. Fear from his own class (Ih-lok bhaya) : this is the fear arising from
persons of his own class. For instance a human being may have fear from
another human being. An animal may have fear from another animal. 2. Fear from living beings of a different category (Per-lok bhaya) : This
is the fear form living beings of different class or from beings of another state of existence for instance a human being may have fear of ghosts, demons, snakes or scorpions and the like.
