Krşņa says here: "I am desire which is not contrary to the laws of nature." Can all our desires then be considered divine? The question is not answered by a stop-gap answer, so enquire deeper and deeper into it.
In order to answer the question you must enquire into nature. Ask yourself "Is this in accordance with the laws of nature"-not as defined by me or you or some scientist, philosopher or psychologist? Can you invest-igate it directly without anybody's help and arrive at enlightenment? It is possible that if this enquiry is properly conducted you might discover that all desires arise in the same mind stuff, they are made of the same mind stuff.
Intelligence and energy are common to what you call good actions and not-so-good actions, but in the case of the latter there is some amount of foolishness mixed with it. So this desire to kill arises on account of a paradoxical mixture of intelligence plus foolishness. Otherwise the content of both the desire to love somebody and the desire to hate somebody is exactly the same. The desire to love somebody is closer to nature, which means there is no foolishness in that con-sciousness. The desire to kill somebody or hate someone partakes of both the intelligent side as well as the foolish side.
