قال أجادريا: «إنّ المرءَ إذا كفَّ حواسَّه وجمع قلبه جمعًا حسنًا، ثم اغتسل في جامبومارغا (Jambūmārga) ثلاثةَ أشهرٍ، نال السِّدهي—تمامَ الإنجاز الروحي. بل إنّه حتى لو اغتسل هناك يومًا وليلةً واحدةً بهذه المجاهدة وهذا التركيز ذي الوجهة الواحدة، بلغ ذلك الإنجاز نفسه».

Educational Q&A

External rites (like bathing at a tīrtha) bear fruit chiefly when joined with inner discipline—sense-restraint and steady concentration. With such mental and ethical preparation, even a short observance can yield the same ‘siddhi’ as a long one.

Ajadriya is describing the efficacy of a particular sacred practice connected with Jambūmārga, emphasizing that the duration (three months versus one day-and-night) is secondary to the practitioner’s self-control and focused mind.
