"If a bhakta is angry upon them, that is not envious. That is for good."
----
Prabhupāda: ....Now, if you speak the straight truth they'll be angry. Mūrkhāyopadeśo hi. But this is fact.
Jayapatākā: You can speak, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: I speak. I said in Melbourne, "United Nations is association of barking dogs."
Jayapatākā: You have that expert quality.
Prabhupāda: Yes. I cannot check myself.
Pradyumna: You say that. You get so angry at seeing it, you...
Prabhupāda: (laughs) Krodha bhakta-dveṣi-jane. That is Narottama Ṭhākura's instruction. You must be very angry, those who are against God and devotee, very angry. Utilize your anger for them. Krodha bhakta-dveṣi-jane. That anger is service. Kṛṣṇa-sebā kāmārpaṇe. For Kṛṣṇa's service one should be mad. Kāma-krodha should be given up, but a bhakta does not give up. Utilize it. A bhakta should be very much for kamut(?) serving Kṛṣṇa. And he must utilize his anger for the bhakta-dveṣi, those who are not devotee. Kṛṣṇa-sebā kāmārpaṇe krodha bhakta-dveṣi-jane. We have nothing to give up like Māyāvādī. Kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mātsarya. Mātsarya may... That has to be... A bhakta cannot be envious. If a bhakta is angry upon them, that is not envious. That is for good. A bhakta should not be envious. Otherwise how he can preach? He's merciful. Even if he's angry, it is mercy. Therefore this mātsarya has no use for bhakta. Other things, they have use, kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, not mātsarya. Mātsarya is very bad.
Satsvarūpa: Envy?
Prabhupāda: Envy, yes.
