be lusty, not impotent

[Guest guest]

So to become a devotee is not to become impotent, but everything has proper

use. Just like if you are lusty, that lust should be utilized for Krsna. I

am lusty to accumulate money. Yes, you bring money, but utilize it for

Krsna. We don't say that you should not be lusty. If you have got capacity

to earn money, earn money, as much as you can, but utilize it for Krsna. If

I am very angry, yes, you remain angry, but utilize it for Krsna. I am very

greedy. Yes, you become greedy for Krsna. How to become greedy? "Oh, I must

have good association. Where Krsna consciousness is being preached, I must

be very greedy." That greediness is not there, but "I am very greedy: Where

is wine? Where is woman? Where is club? Where is naked dance? I am greedy."

You see? I am not greedy for Krsna consciousness. So that greediness should

be turned like that. So these are the things to be learned by the devotee.

We should not be impotent. We should not be null and void. We should possess

everything, but for Krsna. This is Krsna consciousness.
