English translation:

(202) Kṛṣṇa is the father of the entire universe, and anyone who does not respect his father is rebellious and sinful and therefore subjected to miseries birth after birth.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Both the animate world of living entities and the inanimate world of matter emanate from Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is the only father of the entire world. Just as it is the prime duty of the grateful son to serve and follow his father, every living entity, particularly the human beings, should understand that the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa are the original source of the entire creation; in other words, they are the source of everything and are meant to be always worshiped by everyone. Those living entities who are deprived of knowledge in the science of self-realization and devoid of devotional service to Kṛṣṇa, who is the original Nārāyaṇa and the father of the lotus-born Brahmā, are in reality ungrateful sons and therefore subjected to the miseries of material existence. The three types of miseries in this world—adhyātmika, adhibhautika, and adhidaivika (miseries inflicted by the body and mind, those inflicted by other living entities, and those inflicted by natural disturbances)—have been arranged for the benefit of such ungrateful offensive sons who transgress the principles of religion.

In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (11.5.3) Śrī Camasa Muni, one of the Nava- yogendras, speaks to Nimi, the King of Videha, as follows:

ya eṣāṃ puruṣaṃ sākṣād ātma-prabhavam īśvaram na bhajanty avajānanti sthānād bhraṣṭāḥ patanty adhaḥ

“If any of the members of the four varṇas and four āśramas fail to worship or intentionally disrespect the Personality of Godhead, who is the source of their own creation, they will fall down from their position into a hellish state of life.”
