A Simple way - HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Bhagavan who is in front of us is none other than the Supreme Entity who is the very cause of creation, sustenance, and destruction – purely through His grace we can attain easily and certainly the very same exalted state reached through Atmavichara. Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavadpada speaks of this through a beautiful example in a sloka in Sri Lakshminarasimha Pancharatnam:

tvatprabhujIvapriyamicchasi

chennaraharipUjAm kuru satatam

pratibimbAlankrutidhrutikushalO

A person looks at himself in the mirror. If there is any defect on the image, he doesn’t fix it in the mirror image, but instead sets himself right.

Similarly, the jiva has many defects. For the jiva to remove those defects and attain the complete state, he (or she) only needs to do one thing.

The jiva has to do bhakti to Sri Narasimha, who is the Supreme Being, the underlying cause of everything. The jiva needs to worship Him. If he does that, then He who is complete and faultless, will remove all the faults and shortcomings of the jiva, make him also complete, and take him unto Himself.
