Likes (Attachment, Love, Passion, Raag) and Dislikes (Aversion, Hatred, Dvesh) are incoming, transient, alterations of the inner senses, they are not one’s natural tendencies (dharma).  Dharma remains firm and stable, whereas changes are temporary, i.e. they are the kind that come and go.  As attraction  (likes) and aversion (dislikes) are intermittent conditions that come and go in the inner faculty (mind, intellect, ego),  they can be wiped out. 
 
An aspirant’s activity or absence of activity should not be influenced by likes (passion) and dislikes (hatred), rather they must be in accordance with the scriptures. 

The outcome of actions undertaken under the influence of strong likes (attraction) and dislikes (aversion, hatred) is not very good.  

When there is a feeling of strong dislike (hatred) for another aspirant, it becomes an impediment in one’s own spiritual progress.  

‘Vivek’ (power of discrimination)  is eternal, whereas strong likes (attractions, attachments) are self created.  When there is attraction for the world, one’s power of discrimination is curbed, but when this power of discrimination is awakened, attachment goes away.

On considering the ever-changing world as permanent, that itself, causes the rise of duality of attraction (likes) and aversion (hatred, dislikes). 
 
In whatever we develop an attachment (like, attraction), in that we do not find any faults or flaws, and in whatever we develop aversion (hatred), in that we do not see any good qualities. It is only on being free of likes and dislikes, that we are able to see the true nature of a thing.  

In reality, everything is divine, but because of likes and dislikes, it appears as inert.  If likes and dislikes were absent, then besides divinity there is nothing else existing.
