Lord krishna said: It is lust which becomes anger , arising from the mode of passion;know this lust to be insatiable, extremely sinful and the greatest enemey in this world......3:37
As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or as the embryo is covered by the womb, similarly, the living entity is covered by different degrees of this lust....3:40
The senses, the mind and the intelligence are the sitting places of this lust, which veils the real knowledge of the living entity and bewilders him......3:40
Therefore O Arjuna, first you must bring the senses under control and directly destroy this lust, which is the embodiment of sin and the destroyer of knowledge and realisation.....3:41
The working senses are superior to dull matter; mind is higher than the senses; intelligence is still higher than the mind; and he [the soul] is even higher than the intelligence.....3:42
Thus knowing the individual consciousness to be superior to the intelligence, O mightly armed one, steady the mind by self realization and conquer this insatiable enemy in the form of LUST............3:43
Now in conclusion Lord Krishna establishes the fact that one should try to their utmost to destroy the powerful enemy known as kama or lust. Knowing that kama is the mightiest enemy one must by withdrawing the senses, keeping the mind steady and the intellect resolute in sattva guna the mode of goodness then slay this enemy kama which will attack your mind and senses in various ways causing one to fall into delusion before one becomes powerless to resist. Kama is extremely difficult to overpower and is tenacious and formidable yet if one dedicates all actions to Lord Krishna with their mind fixed on Him they can overcome it. So knowledge of Vedic wisdom and meditation on the Supreme Lord are combined the pancea to neutralise kama from its location in the senses, mind and intellect and then destroy the great enemy known as kama. This path of selfless action unattached without conception of rewards should be practiced according to one's capacity and knowledge as a means of gradually achieving renunciation.
The Guru helps in great way to destroy the kama(lust) through the satsanga. without knowledge of the Truth or supreme reality how come differentiation of the both the lust and truth will occur.After knowing the senses gratification and after knowing the Godhead experience one can easily destroy the sensful gratification which is momentary , and jiva(individual consciousness) with blessings of GuruI(who already freed from bondages) able to experience of supreme Lord.(supreme consciousness)
