Leshya (karmic colour) is particular colour that a soul takes on, which shows its spiritual level. There are six leshyas: Black, blue, grey, yellow, lotus pink and white. They are illustrated by a story of six hungry men and their behaviour. The darkest one cuts the very root of the tree, blue cuts main branches. Grey cuts small branches, yellow cuts branches that hold fruits. Lotus colour picks up only ripe fruits while white picks only that fruit which is fallen on the ground.
