Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

If we want to use our anger upon Kṛṣṇa, and if we want to utilize Kṛṣṇa for satisfying our lust, then also you become Kṛṣṇa conscious and highly elevated. So that is possible. That is possible. So Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is so nice that you can utilize your anger even for Kṛṣṇa.

The gopīs, they were young girls, and Kṛṣṇa was young boy. So they were attracted by Kṛṣṇa. They did not know that Kṛṣṇa is God, but they were attracted by Kṛṣṇa, by Kṛṣṇa's exquisite beauty. Kāma. Kāma, krodha. They were attracted. Similarly, Kaṁsa was attracted to Kṛṣṇa by krodha, krodha, the anger. Lust and anger. The gopīs were attracted to Kṛṣṇa by lust, and Kaṁsa was attracted by anger. So even these base mentality, if it is utilized for Kṛṣṇa, then there is . . . if we want to use our anger upon Kṛṣṇa, and if we want to utilize Kṛṣṇa for satisfying our lust, then also you become Kṛṣṇa conscious and highly elevated. So that is possible. That is possible.

So Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is so nice that you can utilize your anger even for Kṛṣṇa. Just like Hanumān. Hanumān, he became very angry, and he set fire to the golden kingdom of Rāvaṇa. That is anger. Because without being angry you cannot set fire to other's house. So he did it, but he did it for Rāmacandra, not for his personal sense gratification. So this kāma krodha, everything . . . Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says, kāma kṛṣṇa kāmārpaṇe. Kāma, you can utilize your kāma, lust, for Kṛṣṇa: "I must do this for Kṛṣṇa. I must act like this for Kṛṣṇa." Just like ordinary people, they are working day and night very hard, but what is the purpose? The purpose is sense gratification. The same desires, strong desires that, "I must get it done; I must have it," for Kṛṣṇa, then it becomes Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
