Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The Lord’s order is meant for everyone—those who are outside varṇāśrama, those who follow varṇāśrama, those who are beyond varṇāśrama, all living entities, all plants, the animate, and the inanimate. Individually and collectively, according to their ability, all should accept Mahāprabhu’s orders.
