- Title
COLORS OF THE SOUL: BY PRODUCTS OF ACTIVITY OR PASSIONS?
- Authors
Wiley, Kristi L.
- Abstract
Several religious traditions of South Asia understand that mental activities produce colors (lesyas) that are associated with the mind or with the soul itself. In Jain texts, there are three theories about how lesyas are produced: that lesyas are a product (parinama) (1) of the passions (kasayas), (2) of vibrations of the soul (yoga), and (3) of all eight varieties of karmas. The views of various Svetambara and Digambara commentators regarding lesyas are compared.
