Indeed, not hating the sir dusts is identical with real enlightenment.

"This absence of [the six "dusts" being:] hatred, intolerance, disgust, righteous indignation, discrimination and judging, is itself the state of Buddhahood. This negativeness, however, is not that of the opposite of affirmation.

"It is not the passive condition it seems to be, neither can it be described by the words 'love your enemies.'

"It is not absence of feeling, or indifference, but some unnameable attitude of mind in which evil is accepted as such though not condoned."

~~ R. H. Blyth
