Om
Namaste

We know there is no independent existence of darkness. It is the absence of light.

Also as I understand that the final state is chidananda state. A state of bliss and unconditional love.

Is it a correct inference that absence of love gives rise to mind's different emotional branches like hatred and anger ?

Opposite of hatred is love ofcourse but opposite of anger is compassion. Can compassion be there without love ?

Thus it seems that the root independent entity is love. The absence of which gives rise to multi headed hydra.

Look forward to your views
