Prabhupāda: At least five lakhs he was earning. So the Congress resolution was that noncooperation, so "Boycott British court. We are not going on." So resolution that everyone should give up practice of law in the British court. Resolution. So C. R. Das did not like that idea. He said that "I am earning fifty thousand. I can give the whole amount for Congress propaganda. Why you are asking me to give up this practice?" So the resolution was, "No, we should noncooperate. We don't want money. We should noncooperate." So when . . . He fought in the meeting that "This should be withdrawn." So it was not withdrawn. Then he resigned. Then he resigned. He became practically poverty-stricken, because he was earning fifty thousand rupees per month, and he had no practice, and he was not keeping any money in the bank. When he resigned, then some of his friend, Muhammad Ali . . . He was also one of the prominent members. He asked, "Mr. Das, what is your bank balance?" So he replied, "I do not know what is my bank balance, but I know I am debtor to the bank by two lakhs." The bank was giving him credit, so this was his position.

So my point is that when the . . . He fought his best, that "This resolution should be withdrawn, boycott of British court," but it was not done. But although he was very strong protester, still he had to do it. This is modern democracy. If the majority votes is in favor of something, even if I do not like it, I'll have to accept it. That is, of course, the so-called democracy. That . . . we do not accept that. Our obedience is to the spiritual master. So in this way we should . . . If there is any misunderstanding, this should be adjusted and we should work wholeheartedly, because our responsibility is very great. We are trying to contribute something to the whole world. It is not a fashion. It is not a fashion. The whole world is suffering for want of God consciousness, so we are trying to give it to the world, God consciousness, in a systematic way, so that they may be highly benefited. So this is the purpose. But if there is some misunderstanding . . .

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What is the actual disagreement?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What is the actual disagreement?

Prabhupāda: No, disagreement in the matter of process. You are thinking this way; he is thinking that way. That is the difference. Otherwise he is also eager to push on Kṛṣṇa consciousness; you are also. Yes.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: The thing is, both of them are claiming that you are thinking their way.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: No, I can't . . .

Prabhupāda: Now that should be adjusted now.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. What is the fact?

Prabhupāda: I shall give my verdict which is my way. Then you have to accept.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: My method is . . .

Prabhupāda: Not your way, not his way. Let me understand what is the way you are trying to follow, what is the way he is trying to follow. Now I shall give my verdict, that "This is the right way."

Yaśodānandana: Jaya Prabhupāda.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's it. That is the best thing.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: So I am offensive, Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: You are agreeable to that?

Siddha-svarūpānanda: Yes.

Prabhupāda: Then thank you, no more talk now. We shall talk later.
