The family attraction, nobody is interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they are simply interested with these things—the association of wife, family, children, motorcar, house, bed, furniture. They are so much attracted with these things that the main business of their life, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they are not interested.

Taskaraḥ means burglar and the so called servant and vaṇik they have been classified almost in the same category. Ko nu visṛjet (Bhāvārtha-dīpikā 7.6.10).

<div class="quote_verse">
:kathaṁ priyāyā anukampitāyāḥ

When we are entangled in family life these are the different types of attraction. What is that? Kathaṁ priyāyā anukampitāyāḥ saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ rucirāṁś ca mantrān. Whispering with the wife, wife is giving some advice that, "Do like that, do like that."

Devotees: (laughter)

Prabhupāda: Analytical study. Analytical study, the five years old boy. Just see. Kathaṁ priyāyā anukampi . . . priyāyā, priyāyā means, "very dear", anukampā means "very sympathetic". Who can be better friend than wife? So priyāyāanukampitāyāḥ saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ always associating and chatting jokingly. Rahasyaṁ, kathaṁ priyāyā: you don't be sorry, sometimes I also remember. Yes. Yes. (laughs) It is so attractive. You see? This is māyā. This is called māyā. Yes. These are identically stating.

And this is answer, the advice, instruction, given by wife, is very palatable ca mantrān. Then kalākṣarāṇām anurakta, suhṛtsu tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ. Then also friendship, in family life there are so many friends. Suhṛtsu tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ—and the smiling of children of affection and love. Tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ kalākṣarāṇām anurakta-cittaḥ—sometimes they cry, they draw tears, in this way the consciousness becomes absorbed with the entanglement. The consciousness, instead of becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious, our consciousness is entangled with all these things. These are very important ślokas.

<div class="quote_verse">
:kathaṁ priyāyā anukampitāyāḥ
:saṅgaṁ rahasyaṁ rucirāṁś ca mantrān
:suhṛtsu tat-sneha-sitaḥśiśūnāṁ

:Mantrān hita-śikṣālāpān 
:(Bhāvārtha-dīpikā 7.6.11)
</div>

Mantrān means—not even instruction.

<div class="quote_verse">
:suhṛtsu ca saṅgam
:teṣāṁ snehena sito baddhaḥ
:kalāni madhurāṇy akṣarāṇi
:yeṣāṁ teṣāṁ ca saṅgam
:teṣv anuraktaṁ cittaṁ yasya 
:(Bhāvārtha-dīpikā 7.6.11)
</div>

So in this way if one is too much entangled how one can. We should always remember Prahlāda Mahārāja said that, kaumāra ācaret prājṣo dharmān bhāgavatān ([[Vanisource:SB 7.6.1|SB 7.6.1]]).

The beginning was that, "My dear demon friends from the childhood you should learn Kṛṣṇa consciousness and be." If I am advanced, if I am young man, if I am married, if I am again fallen into this family life then it may not be possible actually. That is a fact. The family attraction, nobody is interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they are simply interested with these things—the association of wife, family, children, motorcar, house, bed, furniture. They are so much attracted with these things that the main business of their life, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they are not interested.

Huh? Thank you very much. (break)

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Oh that's a good plan. (laughter)

Devotee: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. That means if he becomes guru immediately, he becomes spiritual master. If anyone advises like that, that "Why you are so much attached to the skin and the bones? Why you are not attached to Kṛṣṇa?" Oh such wise is the spiritual master. Bilvamaṅgala was also chastised by a prostitute. Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura . . . (indistinct) . . . and immediately, "Oh, Yes." Immediately he left and went to Vṛndāvana, Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura. But that does not happen to everyone, this is reference to the context. Because Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura, in his previous life, he was raised up to the bhāva-bhakti but somehow or other he fallen down. So therefore there is no loss of the Kṛṣṇa conscious person even he falls down.
