Rāmeśvara: Now, what I am thinking is this, that you have mentioned many times, several times, that there is a conflict which is inevitable between Russia and America.
Prabhupāda: Hm. No, if they understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness, both of them—now we are publishing—then there will be no conflict on...
Rāmeśvara: If Russia...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: But if not...
Prabhupāda: Then we shall force America to fight with them. Finish this philosophy.
Rāmeśvara: Now, if this conflict takes place, then you mentioned that many cities both in America and Russia will be bombed or affected by this conflict.
Prabhupāda: Hm, hm.
Rāmeśvara: So when the war is finished...
Prabhupāda: Then they will come to their senses.
Rāmeśvara: Then there will be nothing left. Their jobs, their factories, it will all... So then they'll be able to easily understand, "Now let us start again. We'll live on the farm. Simpler life."
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: But...
Prabhupāda: Yes. That will be good lesson for them.
Rāmeśvara: So is this conflict part of the spreading of Kṛṣṇa consciousness?
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8). To... Conflict means to finish the sinful activities, finish, stop it.
Rāmeśvara: It seems that then this conflict will be a great opportunity for our movement.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes.
Rāmeśvara: And afterwards there will be an opportunity to influence people.
Prabhupāda: We shall take every opportunity. We are the best opportunists. Ānukūlyena kṛṣṇanu... This is ānukūla. This is favorable for spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We shall immediately accept. It doesn't matter what it is. We do not depend on the public opinion—"This is good" or "This is bad." Our "good" "bad" is: if it is favorable for spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness, it is good; otherwise bad.
