LESHYA“ The rays of COLOURS around YOU ”

Jainism way of ‘showing the mirror’ for us to see where do we stand in our journey of self realization…

www.growthmirror.in

Leshya - the colouration , as they say , Is the ‘colour / vibration’ one radiates…

Saints and evolved monks can actually “SEE” it, but since we can’t see it,

There is another way to “PERCEIVE”, which colour of rays we must be radiating..

Leshyas are because of “THE CULTURE OF THE MIND”

Or a fine combination of mental attitude and intentThis mental culture makes Leshya radiated by us change it’s colour…

Its easier to understand OUR leshyas by understanding OUR mental culture…

www.growthmirror.in

To explain , Jain Monks had devised this Simple but

effective tool by classifying The six types of

Cultures of mind representing six types of

leshyas. . .

The idea was for people to become AWARE and In turn work on their own SELF DEVELOPMENT while creating a healthy society and social living.

Each one of us RADIATES these colours (leshyas) and it changes from one to another in less than few seconds with changing of our mental content…

The question is,Which colour of leshya one MOST FREQUENTLY radiate ?

Lets explore this by understandingWhich ‘culture of mind’ one MOST FREQUENTLY experiences ?

Krishna Leshya: ( BLACK )

Mind without any compassion or mercy, burning

with jealousy and has ill-will for everyone.

Minds that are filled with animosity and malice,

and do not believe in religion and derive pleasure

in exploiting and manipulating others for

absolute control over everything...

Everyone is afraid of people with krishna leshya as

their anger turns into violence.

The worst and most dangerous leshya to

experience even for few seconds…

To explain the consequence of this mind culture, they say, If anyone

dies while radiating KRISHNA leshya, he goes go to hell.

The mind that strictly practice the principles of non-violence,

truth, non-stealing, celibacy, and non attachment.

soul. Really very difficult to find one with true shukla leshya

as they mostly avoid all forms of popularity and self

importance.

They remain calm even if someone abuses them and remain

unconditional compassion for all with unshakable internal

bliss irrespective of external environment.

Which leshya we most frequently / naturally radiate ?

The idea is to become AWARE and work upward…

Do not jump to conclusions in ‘categorizing’ yourself or others simply because we recollect few experiences…These colours are ever changing from moment to moment for all of us …

Categorizing / labeling anyone would be WRONG & not lead

us to the objective of this tool - our own self development..

Right “CULTURE of MIND” . .. For moving higher and upwardAll the way to SELF MASTERY….

Think about it. . .

Since the ‘life dynamics’ are different for different people and

situations, any theoretical ‘how to’ type of ‘preaching’ can not be

as effective as the RIGHT CONTEMPLATION about it …

All knowledge is in the SELF, so RIGHT MANNERISM of

practicing AHINSA for one self can only be arrived by

Right contemplation about it by one self…

AHINSA is sure and simple way to grow spiritually

Think about it…
