<p>Śyāmasundara: So some progress is made from that conflict?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. But the two can(?) fight or conflict and one judgement giver.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: And this is progress.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Just like this morning I was explaining that your statement should be according to the standard process, vidhi-mārga. So sādhu-śāstra-guru, three authorities: saintly persons, scripture, and spiritual master. So all of them should be, should agree. There is a con... Just like two litigants, they go to the court and the judges give judgement. Similarly, whenever there is conflict, to come to a conclusion, we must refer to sādhu, śāstra, and guru. Then we get the right judgement.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: So his idea of conflict is on the social level, between classes of men. It also carries over into historical levels...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, that conflict is no use. Social... So far the modern society is concerned, it is based on mental speculation. There is no standard. Some society has a different standard, another society has a different standard. But none of them are based on some authority. Therefore such conflict cannot bring you into some right conflict if both of them are wrong. The so-called capitalist and so-called communist, they are all on the wrong basis. So by such conflict you cannot come to a recognized standard.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: So by "conflict" you mean the mind's engagement with...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. I mean to say that... Just like two parties fighting on some point. They come to the court and the judgement is given by the judge. So the decision is made on the judgement.  Not by simply conflict. If two parties are fighting for life together, they cannot come to the conclusion because they are fighting on the wrong basis.</p>
