The sacred books often mention a part played by some precious garment: frock, tunic or veil. This garment is symbolic. It represents the aura, that is, the spiritual emanation from the inner being. The Old Testament relates that Joseph's brothers were jealous of him because Jacob, their father, had offered him a beautiful tunic. Actually, when Moses mentions Joseph's tunic, he specifies that it was made of many colors. This detail induces us to establish a link between this garment and the aura, the pure and sparkling colors corresponding to the different qualities and virtues. This garment of light and colors is given to us by the divine world as a reward for our work. All the threads and colors are at our disposal, but it is we who must fetch and weave them. With the violet (spiritual love), indigo (force), blue (faith), green (hope), yellow (wisdom), orange (godliness) and red (life), you will patiently weave this beautiful garment that will protect you on your path through this dark forest of life.
