The April theme of the month highlights the Klesas,
or the obstacles that get in the way of us reaching Samadhi,
or enlightenment. The idea
is to minimize the five Klesas. They are with us always but we want to
weaken them.
The Five Klesas
are:
avidya: ignorance or better yet… lack of awareness
asmita: the feeling of individuality which limits a person and
distinguishes him from a group and which may be physical, mental, intellectual
or emotional; EGO
raga: attachment or passion
dvesa: aversion or repulsion
abhinivesa: love or thirst for life, the instinctive clinging
to life and bodily enjoyment and fear that one may be cut off from all by
death.
