II,3 avidya-asmita-raga-dvesha-abhinivesah panca klesah.

The five (panca) afflictions (klesas): ignorance (avidya), egotism (asmita), desire (raga), aversion (dvesha) and tenacity (abhinivesa).
Yoga Sutras, Sutra II,3, Patanjali

The follwing is an attempt of an understanding of the above sutra from sage Patanjali. By understanding the yoga sutras we shall get an understanding of the architecture of maya, i.e. we learn more about the veil of maya (see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_(illusion)).

Note: Do not ever attack a person or yourself for their, your afflictions, aberrations. Attack the aberration but not the person. The only [useful] mean to attack an affliction or aberration is mindfulness, attention.
