Envy, hatred and malice, greed, anger and violence are just names we give to symptoms, as a result of analytical thought. Each one has its counterpart, and part and counterpart constitute one whole. In psychology they are termed positive and negative feeling, in ethics good and evil. All are just names. All are just concepts. None exists in reality.
As long as we discriminate between good and evil we are still tied up in the net of conceptualism, which is duality. We can experience positivity rather than negativity, and vice versa according to circumstances, but, since they are one and the same notion, the difference lies in the manner of interpretation.
People who have never heard of metaphysics are apt to tell you that love and hate are the same thing, and can be transmuted. The fact has become apparent without knowledge of the principle. But they want the one only, the one without, or rather than, the other, and they do not see the absurdity of that: one part of a pair of opposites cannot exist without the other, nor one element of complementaries, for each only exists, even apparently, in function of the other.
The transmutation of hate into love effects nothing, for both are on the same plane. Hate merely becomes selfish possessive love, accompanied by jealousy and fear of loss of possession.
But if they are seen as one, if their identity is comprehended, they cease automatically to be interpreted as either - they re-become what they really are. Since we must give everything a name in order that it may appear to exist, let us call it pure feeling.
But pure feeling has its quota of names also; it is karuna and caritas - detached, impersonal, unpossessive love, which looks like compassion, benevolence, kindness, all of which are dualistic notions resulting from an intellectual analysis of positive feeling, none of which it is, since none of which really exists, for they are names for concepts.
Yes, you are right of course, karuna-caritas is a concept also, and it is part of a duality. Its counterpart is prajna, usually translated as transcendental wisdom, though 'pure understanding' or just 'insight' may be more helpful. But if we can see those two as one, if we can unite part and counterpart so that we recognise and know what that is - we have transcended duality.
No, don't try to give it a name. Suchness must be eternally nameless.
Note: Karuna represents the affective (emotional) aspect of this basic duality, of which the counterpart is the intellectual aspect termed prajna.
In our formula the components of each group are concepts that are objects in consciousness, experienced via I-dream-subject. Prajna and karuna are objects in consciousness experienced by I-subject whom I have also termed the Imperson.
