Srila prabhupada....... In the Eleventh Canto, 20th Chapter, 8th verse, of the Srimad Bhagavatam the Lord Himself says: One should execute the pre scribed duties of varna and asrama as long as he has not developed spontaneous attachment for hearing about My pastimes and activities. In other words, the prescribed forms of varna and asrama are ritualistic ceremonies of religion intended for economic development, sense gratification or for salvation. All of these things are recommended for persons who have not developed Krsna consciousness; in fact, all such activities are recommended in the revealed scriptures only to bring one to the point of Krsna consciousness. But one who has already developed spontaneous attachment for Krsna does not require to execute the duties prescribed in the scriptures.
