Any Association with Krishna Is Purifying
Let Us All Associate with Sri Krishna in Some Manner for Our Ultimate Purification
When Sukadeva Gosvami began reciting Krishna’s rasa-lila pastimes, Maharaja Pariksit asked, “How could the gopis attain liberation by thinking of a paramour?” Sukadeva replied that even if one thinks that the gopis were motivated by lust, any association with Krishna will purify one of all material desires.

Srila Prabhupada explains in Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (p.245):

The conclusion is that if one somehow or other becomes attached to Krishna or attracted to Him, either because of His beauty, quality, opulence, fame, strength, renunciation, or knowledge, or even through lust, anger, or fear, or through affection or friendship, then one’s salvation and freedom from material contamination are assured.
