-'''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''): Taking the non-eternal, impure, evil and not-self to be eternal, pure, good and self respectively
-- Egoism (''asmitā''): The identification of the perceiving consciousness with the instrument of perception (mind).
-- Attraction (''rāga''): That which follows after pleasure.
-- Repulsion (''dveṣa''): That which follows after pain.
-- Attachment to life (abhiniveśāḥ): The strong desire for life which dominates even the learned.
