cÄri varášÄĹramÄŤ yadi kášášŁáša nÄhi bhaje
svakarma karite se raurave paá¸i' maje
cÄri varáša-ÄĹramÄŤ - followers of the four social and spiritual orders of life; yadi - if; kášášŁáša - Lord KášášŁáša; nÄhi - not; bhaje - serve; sva-karma karite - performing his duty in life; se - that person; raurave - in a hellish condition; paá¸i' - falling down; maje - becomes immersed.
One may be a brÄhmaáša, kᚣatriya, vaiĹya or ĹĹŤdra, or one may perfectly follow the spiritual principles of brahmacarya, gášhastha, vÄnaprastha and sannyÄsa, but ultimately one falls down into a hellish condition unless one becomes a devotee. Without developing oneâs dormant KášášŁáša consciousness, one cannot be factually elevated. The regulative principles of varášÄĹrama-dharma in themselves are insufficient for attainment of the highest perfection. That is confirmed in the following two quotations from ĹrÄŤmad-BhÄgavatam (11.5.2-3).
