This chāyā-raty-ābhāsa appears sometimes even in ignorant people by a combination of performing actions dear to the Lord, observing the festivals of the Lord, residing in the dhāma of the Lord, and associating with the devotees of the Lord. Even this chāyā-raty-ābhāsa, which eventually bestows auspiciousness to those people, appears only with great good fortune.

Such shadow attachment or parā attachment can develop if one associates with a pure devotee or visits holy places like Vṛndāvana or Mathurā, and if an ordinary man develops such attachment for Kṛṣṇa and fortunately performs devotional activities in the association of pure devotees, he can also rise to the platform of pure devotional service.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

There should be simultaneous participation in the items listed (performing actions dear to the Lord, observing the festivals of the Lord, residing in the dhāma of the Lord, and associating with the devotees of the Lord) in order for chāyā-raty-ābhāsa to manifest in ignorant people.
