The main aim of the aspirant is not to get rid of only love and hate. He tries very hard to develop the strength and energy that is needed to fight off love and hate. He stays engaged in the practice of the tool to develop attraction towards consciousness becoming brighter and courageous in his inner beings. He does this with knowledge and devotion. He also works to develop Bhavna, prayers and introspection. At this point he is convinced that it is not possible to defeat love and hate without the help of the divine energy. So as he develops this divine energy; whenever there is an inclination towards love-hate in the mind arise, he tries hard to increase the energy by deeply engaging in the tools and uses all his might and energy to defeat love-hate. Thus he does not get entangled in the currents of love-hate and let it pass by. He does not cooperate with it or takes part in it. This he does by keeping the aim of his life in front of him. He is always ready and eager to remove the root causes of love-hate. He has the inner understanding to remove the roots that provide the support to love-hate. He uses this inner understanding greatly for that purpose. Love and hate cannot be removed just by the strength of the intellect. Devotion towards the consciousness with Gnana must be cultivated. Such devotion has tremendous strength and energy. Only at such level of the aspirant, the energy is capable of removing the obstacles like love and hate. It is never possible to remove love and hate completely without the development of devotion and Bhakti in the intellect.
