Additionally, Dasas spoke not to particular sect or area but had a universal appeal. Their sole purpose was to praise the Lord for his mercy and beneficence. Their art lay in unfolding their heart with no ego, arrogance, cunning or secrecy. The Dasas reiterated the basic concept, that devotion was the saviour of mankind. Being in touch with the common people the Dasas became shrewd observers of life around, life in the raw.
