<p>Pathiga is the fundamental underlying resistance/aversion that one has towards his own senses which exert pressure on one's mind through either pleasurable or unpleasurable sense objects.
It is the covert resistance/ hate/ self loathing that one has towards one's own senses.
And because it is too painful and one does not want to deal with the truth that you can not owe your senses, that they are, as the Buddha says, empty and hollow , the only thing that is left to do is to blame, hate and be avert to the external unpleasant sense objects.</p>

There is no such thing as "*fundamental* underlying resistance."
