" I will engage lust, anger, greed, illusion, madness, envy, pride in appropriate ways, and by defeating these enemies I will feel happiness in my heart as I peacefully worship Govinda.  I will engage lust by offering it in Krishna's service.  Anger I will direct towards those who are envious of the devotees.  I will be greedy to hear the topics of Hari in the association of devotees.  I will feel illusioned without achieving my worshipable Lord.  I will be maddened while singing the glories of Krishna.  In this way I will engage these enemies in their proper places." -Srila Narottama dasa Thakura
