BASIS FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF LESHYA
All living beings are surrounded by
leshya-aura; Only the emancipated are freed from it
for ever! Black, blue, and grey; again, red, lotus-coloured and white These are the qualitative names of
leshya in order. The first three leshy as are unchaste,
their fruit inauspicious, too; The colour and taste and smell of these
is also repugnant; The other three leshyas are pleasant, they bring An awakening in life as the passions subside; In Uttaradhyana are they adequately treated, In chapter 34, read it with care and
understand!
For a true assessment of one's personality you have emphasized the necessity of examining one's aura.
