Redirect all desires toward Krishna's service, transforming material qualities into transcendental devotional tools.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: śrī-nārada uvāca... [SB 7.9.1] [break] [leads chanting of synonyms] Translation: "The great saint Nārada Muni continued: The demigods, headed by Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva and other great demigods, dared not come forward before the Lord, who at that time was extremely angry." Prabhupāda: Hmm. Any more? Translation?
Oh, you have done. Read the purport. Purport. Pradyumna: "Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has sung in his Prema-bhakti-candrikā, [Song 3, Stanza 10] 'krodha' bhakta-dveṣi jane: anger should be used to punish a demon who is envious of devotees. Kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and mātsarya—lust, anger, greed, illusion, pride and envy—all have their proper use for the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His devotee.
A devotee of the Lord cannot tolerate blasphemy of the Lord or His other devotees, and the Lord also cannot tolerate blasphemy of a devotee. Thus Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva was so very angry that the great demigods like Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva and even the goddess of fortune, who is the Lord's constant companion, could not pacify Him, even after offering prayers of glorification and praise. No one was able to pacify the Lord in His anger, but because the Lord was willing to exhibit His affection for Prahlāda Mahārāja, all the demigods and the others present before the Lord pushed Prahlāda Mahārāja forward to pacify Him." Prabhupāda: So in the material world, kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and mātsarya, these things are condemned. And for a sādhaka, means a neophyte devotee, he is advised to give up these low-grade habits—kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mada, mātsarya.
But people may question, "Wherefrom these low-grade qualities came?" Kāma is low grade, admitted, but wherefrom it came? In the Vedānta-sūtra we get the reply, janmādy asya yataḥ [SB 1.1.1]: "Everything that we experience, it comes from God." So... [aside:] You stand that side. You are standing; they can stand. So without the original source, even these low-grade things, wherefrom it comes? It comes from God.
Just like adharma, irreligiosity, is described as the back side of God, and religiosity is described as the front side of God. So there is no difference between front side and back side—absolute. God is absolute any way. Even apart from God's body, even in our body, we do not make any distinction.
Suppose if there is some trouble, if there is some boil here in the front side and if there is some boil in the back side, does it mean I shall not take care of the back side boil? I shall take care of it; I shall have treatment for it. I cannot neglect the back side boil because it has come out from the back side. There is no such reason. So these bad habits, kāma, krodha—kāma means lust; krodha means anger—so if they are also coming from God, then how we can neglect it?
How we can reject it? So there is no need of rejecting. That is the Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura's... You cannot reject.
