The color is not actually saffron, it is ochre. If you go into certain meditations, you will clearly see that Agna is orange or saffron. When a person is moving towards Agna, it can be very visibly noticed that the color of Agna is orange.

Why people who walk the spiritual path choose orange as their color, at least in this country, is because orange suggests so many things. It is this type of aura which allows you to function in the world in a way that other people think is superhuman. When someone attains to their highest but chooses to be active in the world, his aura will always be electric blue. Such a person’s presence will be fantastic, but he will not be so action-oriented. If someone has a pure white aura, that means this is a pure being. That is the color of renunciation and kriya. If we make the Agna very important in our sadhana, then orange will be the dominant color. In terms of one’s evolution, there are various hues that one’s aura can take. They were referred to as blue gods because they had a blue aura. Shiva has a blue skin, Krishna has a blue skin, Rama has a blue skin. It is based on this that so many gods in India are shown as blue-skinned. Anything which is larger than your perception tends to be blue because blue is the basis of all-inclusiveness.

You will see in the existence, anything that is vast and beyond your perception generally tends to be blue, whether it is the ocean or the sky. The Meaning Of The Color Redīlue is the color of all-inclusiveness. Red means it is not red! Whatever you give away, that will be your quality in the world also. Something looks red not because it is red, but because it holds back everything that white light contains and reflects red. What is color, first of all? The color of any substance is not because of what it is, it is what it rejects or what it gives away or reflects. There are other aspects to it but this is in terms of the color. They know that what they are is itself substantial. But the idea is they don’t take on anything more than what they are. If walking naked is difficult socially, they put on a loincloth. What you are right now, to work that out is quite substantial. They don’t want to take on anything more. They just want to work with what they have. People on the ascetic path don’t want to wear anything because they don’t want to add anything new to themselves. Sadhguru: How is color significant for human consciousness as such, or for any kind of spiritual process? It is significant in the sense that the color that you reflect will naturally add to the aura that you carry.
