-'''Klesha''' (devanāgarī: क्लेश, ''kleśa'') is a Sanskrit term used in yoga philosophy, meaning a "affliction" or "causes of suffering." The [[Yoga Sutras of Patanjali]] (second chapter, third śloka) describe Five Afflictions (Sanskrit: pañcakleśā):
-अविद्यास्मितारागद्वेषाभिनिवेशाः पञ्च क्लेशाः॥३॥
-''Avidyāsmitārāgadveṣābhiniveśāḥ pañca kleśāḥ''
-These five kleshas are:
-- Ignorance (''āvidyā'')
-- Egoism (''asmitā'')
-- Attraction (''rāga'')
-- Repulsion (''dveṣa'')
-- Attachment to life (abhiniveśāḥ).
