<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Conversation on Train to Allahabad -- January 11, 1977, India|Conversation on Train to Allahabad -- January 11, 1977, India]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Rāmeśvara: So, then they will say, "We do not want this movement in our country because it is breaking up the families."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You do not want? Who cares for you? We shall go on with our movement. Who cares for you?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: "You are ruining family life."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that?</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: We are simply ruining our families.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's all right. We are ruining the dog's family, cat's family. That's all right. We are entering into Kṛṣṇa's family. That is our improvement. What is the use of keeping with the dog's family, cat's family? The dog has also family. So to remain in the dog's family, it is very prestigious position? We have now constructed our own family, Kṛṣṇa family. We are entering there. What is the use of remaining in the dog's family, cat's family?</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: "But if you're actually followers of God, then why are you breaking up the families? Shouldn't you have love for everyone?"</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: Because they say that the Ten Commandments says... One of the Ten Commandments, the fourth one, says "Thou shalt honor thy mother and thy father."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, we honor.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: But that means by birth, the mother and father also. That's what it refers to.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: So they say, "By your teaching they are spitting on their mothers and fathers."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, not spitting. Who is spitting? Everyone... Just like you have got a father and mother. You are not spitting. Whenever father, mother, comes, he honors. That is your version, but his version is different. He loves his father and mother. He teaches him Kṛṣṇa consciousness.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: My mother testified to that, that when I was at home I was impossible to live with, and when they saw me afterwards, I was very nice.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Many. The Hayagrīva's father, mother.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: My parents think like that too.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Rāmeśvara: I could have no relation with them before, but now that I am a devotee, I actually want to help them, so the relationship...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And there are so many fathers, mothers; they very much appreciate. And the... Our... None of our disciple is disrespectful to father and mother. Why? I never said that "You become disrespectful to your father and mother."</p>
