Text 25] The Characteristics of King Purafijana 1163

“Since [ have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of Krsna,
realizing ever new pleasure in Him, whenever I think of sex pleasure, I spit
at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste.”

When one is spiritually advanced he can no longer be attracted by the
lumps of flesh and blood which are the breasts of young women. The word
nirantarau is significant because although the breasts are situated in different
locations, the action is the same. We should not make any distinction
between attachmeni and envy. As described in Bhagavad-gita, they are both
products of rajo-guna:

Sri bhagavan uvdca
kama esa krodha esa
rajoguna-samudbhavah
mahdsano mahd-papma
viddhy enam iha vairinam

“The Blessed Lord said: It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact
with the material modes of passion and later transformed into wrath, and
which is the all-devouring, sinful enemy of this world.” (Bg. 3.37)

The word nigihantim (trying to cover) indicates that even if one is
tainted by kama, lobha, krodha, etc., they can be transfigured by Krsna
consciousness. In other words, one can utilize kama (lust) for serving Krsna.
Being impelled by lust, an ordinary worker will work hard day and night;
similarly a devotee can work hard day and night to satisfy Krsna. Just as
karmis are working hard to satisfy kdma-krodha, a devotee should work in
the same way to satisfy Krsna. Similarly, krodha (anger) can also be used
in the service of Krsna when it is applied to the nondevotee demons.
Hanumanji applied his anger in this way. He was a great devotee of Lord
Ramacandra, and he utilized his anger to set fire to the kingdom of Ravana,
a nondevotee demon. Thus kama (lust) can be utilized to satisfy Krsna,
and krodha (anger) can be utilized to punish the demons. When both are
used for Krsna’s service, they lose their material significance and become
spiritually important.
