Spiritual lust and anger

Posted on March 31, 2012 Filed under BVKS Sanga

The origin of lust is in the Supreme. If, therefore, lust is transformed into love for the Supreme, or transformed into Krsna consciousness — or, in other words, desiring everything for Krsna — then both lust and wrath can be spiritualized. Hanuman, the great servitor of Lord Rama, exhibited his wrath by burning the golden city of Ravana, but by doing so he became the greatest devotee of the Lord. Here also, in Bhagavad-gita, the Lord induces Arjuna to engage his wrath upon his enemies for the satisfaction of the Lord. Therefore, lust and wrath, when they are employed in Krsna consciousness, become our friends instead of our enemies. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Bg 3.37
