Buddha is a presence, not a mood. You are moods, not a presence. Sometimes you are hate, one mood, sometimes you are love - another mood; sometimes you are anger, another mood, sometimes you are greed - another mood. You are moods, you are never a pure presence, and your consciousness goes on being modified by your moods. Each mood becomes the master. It modifies the consciousness, cripples it, changes it, colors it, deforms it.
A buddha is without moods. Now hate has gone, love has gone, anger has gone, greed has gone - and non-greed also, non-anger also. They have disappeared! They both have disappeared! He is a simple presence.
