Guru Maharāja: If we continue to practice Kṛṣṇa Bhakti, gradually these lusty desires will go away. Based on our situations, whether we are a gṛhastha, vairāgī, renounced order, depends on that. So whatever ashram we are in whether gṛhastha, vairāgī, by continuing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we can gradually become free from these desires. We are following yukta-vairāgya , we are offering all the vairāgya in Kṛṣṇa’s service. So we see that we become developed in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, we become Kṛṣṇa bhaktas, so thus kama- vega, lusty desires will be diminishing. So our greed, we can engage in Kṛṣṇa’s service, like whatever our favorite items offer it to Kṛṣṇa, in this way, we can engage our greed in Kṛṣṇa’s service. Everything can be engaged in Kṛṣṇa’s service except enviousness. If someone wants to do good service, then others they want to put him down. Enviousness is not allowed in the path of bhakti, and everything else can be engaged in Kṛṣṇa’s service. For example, our anger, if someone blasphemes Kṛṣṇa or blasphemes his devotees, then one can become angry. But if there is any hindrance and obstacle in gratifying our own senses, then we should not become angry.
