Vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhā. Here we have got artraction, material, so we have to withdraw this attraction. How it will be possible? If we become more attracted to Kṛṣṇa, then this attraction will go away. Bhaktiḥ pareśānubhavo viraktir anyatra syāt (SB 11.2.42). Bhakti means the more you realize Kṛṣṇa, the more you become detestful: "Ah, nonsense." This is test. One side increasing taste, the other side decreasing. This is the test.

Mad-bhāvam āgatāḥ. Vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhā. Here we have got attraction, material, so we have to withdraw this attraction. How it will be possible? If we become more attracted to Kṛṣṇa, then this attraction will go away. Bhaktiḥ pareśānubhavo viraktir anyatra syāt (SB 11.2.42). Bhakti means the more you realize Kṛṣṇa, the more you become detestful: "Ah, nonsense." This is test. One side increasing taste, the other side decreasing. This is the test. If we think that "I have got attraction on Kṛṣṇa and also the sense gratification," that means bogus. The test is how far I am detached to sense gratification. Then it means that you have increased your spiritual life. And Yāmunācārya says,

<div class="quote_verse">
:yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-pādāravinde
:nava-nava-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt
:tad-avadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamāne
:bhavati mukha-vikāraḥ suṣṭhu niṣṭhīvanaṁ ca 
:(Śrī Yāmunācārya)
</div>

This is the test. Yāmunācārya, he was emperor. He said, "Since I have taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and I am enjoying Kṛṣṇa's association, since then, as soon as I think of sex, I spit on it." This is the test. This is test. Kṛṣṇa . . . how I am increasing my Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the test is how I am decreasing my sex attachment. This is test. A man is suffering from fever, that means how much he is becoming cured means how much he has decreased the degree of fever. This is the test. It is not that I have got 105-degrees fever and I am advancing and curing. That is not. This is the test, the vīta-rāga. You have got attachment for this material world, and the central point of attachment is sex. All man, birds, beast, everyone—test.

So vīta-rāga. Rāga means attachment. Vīta-rāga-bhaya. And soon as we conquer over this sense gratification, then we have no fear, bhaya. Krodhā: and there is no anger. Where anger is there, as soon as we are dissatisfied in the matter of sense gratification we become angry. So, vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhā . . .
