<p class="para"> The Mother says Love and Hate are 
at bottom the same thing. At the centre there is the same substance in both, it 
is the obverse and reverse of the same stuff. It is a vibration, it is a unique 
vibration, a vibration of extreme intensity, of extreme intimacy. At the centre 
there is this one single movement although at the periphery it becomes 
different, even contradictory. As the movement starts from the centre, and 
proceeds outward it differentiates itself, becomes more and more different, 
contrary, even contradictory to what it was at its origin. Hatred with all its 
most ugly features appears in the place of what was once a smiling beauty. 
Indeed, Love itself as we know it, as it is at the outside on the periphery, is 
equally a deformation and aberration like Hatred. Hatred kills but Love devours, 
vitally in man, literally in some of the lower species of animals. Human love 
and human hatred are both perversions, falsified expressions of another truth 
behind. It is human ignorance and prejudice that appreciates one and deprecates 
the other. Yet both have the same root, the flowering of the same seed or it is 
somewhat like the two opposite kinds of electricity—positive and negative. The 
two charges have opposite signs but they attract each other and although in the 
expression and action they are contradictory, they are both charges of

<p class="para"> We may extend this viewpoint and 
find the resolution of all contrariness and contradictoriness. Paradoxically one 
may say then all contradictions are an apparent illusion, all contradictions 
naturally and inevitably mean an inmost unity and identity. Even so the Brahman 
and the world or the Purusha and the Prakriti are apparent negations to each 
other, the duality is in the ordinary ignorant consciousness, but the two are 
one in the supreme indivisible consciousness.
