Yogic Reflections -- Pancha Klesha (The Five Afflictions)

This is a poem on The Pancha Kleshas (The Five Afflictions). These afflictions, as described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, act as internal obstacles that cloud perception, distort reality, and hinder spiritual growth.
By recognizing and addressing these deep-seated sources of distress, we can work toward greater clarity, peace, and ultimately, liberation (moksha).
Let the words of this poem guide you toward a mindset of serenity, balance, and freedom.
