If one is not worshiping Krsna while being situated in the different orders

of life, he is not even following the main and basic regulative principle of

that order of life which is to worship Krsna. Thus he is materially

situated.

 

Visnu Purana (3.8.9) states:

 

varnasramacara-vata, purusena parah puman

visnur aradhyate pantha, nanyat tat-tosa-karanam

 

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Visnu, is to be worshiped by the

proper execution of prescribed duties in the system of varna and asrama

(orders of life). There is no other way to satisfy the Supreme Personality

of Godhead. Thus one must be situated in the institution of the four varnas

and asramas specifically to worship Lord Krsna."
