The way to attain such a state of the highest joy and ecstacy is to contemplate the name of Krsņa. The uninterrupted recitation and contemplation of His name for all the hours of the day and night and the desire to serve him at last lead to Him." By such a faithful and singular devotion the Lord gets bound to the Bhaktas or devotees, and then He is ever prepared to give any kind of satisfaction to them. Such a bhakti or devotion that wins the Lord is accessible to all the people irrespective of their social status, colour, and caste. God looks on all the people with equality and does not disrespect any body. It is a sufficient qualification for one to reach God that he possesses a genuine love and devotion for the Lord.Narasimha has absolute faith in the efficacy and goodness of bhakti, and therefore, he says “If others say that we are such and such, then we are like that. Even if others call us fallen and degenerated, we shall carry on the service of Damodara." He is prepared to admit the charge that he is a bad man, any body may call him any way he likes, but Narasimha is profoundly attached to Hari, and therefore, he does not care for the orthodox ways of behaviour. God is accessible to all
