Hare Krishna Mataji, Dandavat Pranams! As a matter of fact, there could be some sort of emotional aggrandizement so to speak, however, as long as we are dealing with spiritually consciousness, emotionalism automatically changes its consciousness into spiritual consciousness and no more material radiation hence, it has to act perfectly, what do you think? For example, if you put an iron into the fire, it becomes warm, warmer, and warmest, until it turns into red fire . If you touch it anywhere, it burns, right? When it is burning what do you say, fire or iron? Similarly, when you engage that emotion into Krishna consciousness, that is emotion in pure Krishna consciousness, and hence no more material qualities anymore.Everything is from Krishna, and the perfection of anything and everything is when it is engaged in Krishna consciousness.Even Krishna says, suppose one is a criminal, Krishna advice him to steal and bring the result to Him, He will accept and make it purify and free him from the reaction of stealing: Guot:: Bg 9.27 yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat yat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam Translation: Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform – do that, O son of Kuntī, as an offering to Me. Purport: Thus, it is the duty of everyone to mold his life in such a way that he will not forget Kṛṣṇa in any circumstance. Everyone has to work for maintenance of his body and soul together, and Kṛṣṇa recommends herein that one should work for Him. Everyone has to eat something to live; therefore he should accept the remnants of foodstuffs offered to Kṛṣṇa. Any civilized man has to perform some religious ritualistic ceremonies; therefore Kṛṣṇa recommends, “Do it for Me,” and this is called arcana. Everyone has a tendency to give something in charity; Kṛṣṇa says, “Give it to Me,” and this means that all surplus money accumulated should be utilized in furthering the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Nowadays people are very much inclined to the meditational process, which is not practical in this age, but if anyone practices meditating on Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours a day by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra round his beads, he is surely the greatest meditator and the greatest yogī, as substantiated by the Sixth Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā.
