Jiva Goswami
"Pure devotional service rendered to the supreme Lord is spiritually so potent that simply by hearing about such transcendental service, by chanting its glories in response, by meditating on it, by respectfully and faithfully accepting it, or by praising the devotional service of others, even persons who hate the demigods and all other living beings can be immediately purified."
This is confirmed by the Lord Himself in these words (Srimad Bhagavatam 9.27):
"Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform-do that, O son of Kunti as an offering to Me."
In this way, even by engaging in what is only a dim shadow of real devotional service, and even when committing many offenses while engaging in such a dim shadow of real devotional service, one can still attain the real result of devotional service. Ajamila, Musika and many others are examples of this!
