As God is angry for his devotee, similarly, our anger should be also utilized for God. Just try to understand. It is not that we shall not be angry. Yes, we shall be angry, but in suitable place, where God is insulted. When a rascal is claiming that he is God and deceiving others, you must be very much angry, "You rascal, what you are doing?" Somebody may say: "Oh, you are devotee? Why you have become so angry?" Now, why not? Here is the question of God and His devotee.

As God is angry for his devotee, similarly, our anger should be also utilized for God. Just try to understand. It is not that we shall not be angry. Yes, we shall be angry, but in suitable place, where God is insulted. When a rascal is claiming that he is God and deceiving others, you must be very much angry, "You rascal, what you are doing?" Somebody may say: "Oh, you are devotee? Why you have become so angry?" Now, why not? Here is the question of God and His devotee.

Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu taught us that, "You become tolerant than the tree and humble than the grass." But when Jagāi-Mādhāi insulted Lord Nityānanda, oh, He immediately became so angry, "Oh, bring My cakra. I shall kill these persons." Did He become a tolerant like the tree, "All right, Nityānanda is insulted. Let Me become tolerant"? (laughs) No, no.

Try to understand. You see? We should not be impotent. Arjuna, he was declining to fight, not that he was impotent, he could not fight. He was a great warrior. But he was refusing, "Oh, what for this personal interest is to kill them?" But when he saw that, "Kṛṣṇa wants this," oh, he showed his potency.

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 Kṛṣṇa. I am lusty to accumulate money. Yes, you bring money, but utilize it for Kṛṣṇa. 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 Kṛṣṇa. If I am very angry, yes, you remain angry, but utilize it for Kṛṣṇa.

I am very greedy. Yes, you become greedy for Kṛṣṇa. How to become greedy? "Oh, I must have good association. Where Kṛṣṇa's consciousness is being preached, I must be very greedy." So 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 Kṛṣṇa 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 Kṛṣṇa. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
