cari varnasrami yadi krsna nahi bhaje
svakarma karite se raurave padi’ maje
SYNONYMS
cari varna-asrami—followers of the four social and spiritual orders of life; yadi—if; krsna—Lord Krsna; nahi—not; bhaje—serve; sva-karma karite—performing his duty in life; se—that person; raurave—in a hellish condition; padi’-falling down; maje—becomes immersed "The followers of the varnasrama institution accept the regulative principles of the four social orders (brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra) and four spiritual orders (brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa).
However, if one carries out the regulative principles of these orders but does not render transcendental service to Krsna, he falls into the hellish condition of material life.
PURPORT
One may be a brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya or sudra, or one may perfectly follow the spiritual principles of brahmacarya, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa, but ultimately one falls down into a hellish condition unless one becomes a devotee.
Without developing one’s dormant Krsna consciousness, one cannot be factually elevated.
The regulative principles of varnasrama-dharma in themselves are insufficient for attainment of the highest perfection.
That is confirmed in the following two quotations from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.5.2-3).
