We should become anxious for the service of the Lord. We should become anxious to do more for the Lord. That’s how we should know we are advancing in devotional service, that we become anxious to do more to please Krishna. So, spiritual anxiety means awakening of these desires. This is bhakti. I need mercy, I need to develop my love for Krishna, I have to do more for Krishna. That’s spiritual anxiety. That’s purifying.
