Swamy,
It would be helpful if you could dwell more on this aspect 'kama'. The
above sentence puts the word 'kama' as the one which is to be best
avoided/conquered.
On the other hand, going by VSN in which Vishnu is eulogised as "kaamadevah
kaamapaalah kaamee kaantah kritaagamah", and specifically, kaamadevah
denotes - On one whom a seeker must necessarily get charmed; One on whom
seekers have captivating love, we get a positive meaning of word - kama.
Thus 'kaama' if taken positively and by gleaning the meaning from the
perspective of Lord makes it a significant aspect in a sadhaka's life.
I read that 'kaama' is the first-born emotion Lord when Lord willed to
create and out came the beautiful lotus and from there Svayambu born. Thus
it is said everything - either loukika or aloukika is driven by 'kama'.
Gopis of Brindavana are driven by 'kama' which is satvik and aimed at Lord.
May be you can highlight these aspects(even though these may out of subject
here) too across - kaama; satvika krodha; satvika ahankara; moha on krishna
etc., What I think is these negative traits what we experience in our
material life have entirely opposite meanings when we dwell on it
spiritually. Pls comment.
regards
sukumar
