5 Reasons Why We SUFFER All The TIME - Yogic Explanation!
Sage Patanjali Maharishi mentions the five kleshas in Yoga Sutra 2.3 “Avidya-Asmita-Raga-Dvesha-Abhinivesa-Klesha” responsible for all our suffering in life.
Avidya: ignorance
Asmita: I-ness, ego sense
Raga: attachment
Dvesha: aversion
Abhinivesah: fear of death, clinging to life
Klesha: painful, afflicted
Only through proper understanding, we can outgrow our intrinsic afflictions. We are all born with these kleshas. The first step is to understand these kleshas and then putting in an effort to eliminate them. All of these afflictions are tangled together within our egos.
