Not knowing a thing is ignorance.
According to Indian tradition, the fivefold ignorance has been characterized as mistaking 1. the unreal for real, 2. the ephemeral for the eternal, 3. the painful as pleasurable, 4. the impure for pure and 5. that which is worth discarding for something worth acquiring.
