Caturthopadeśaḥ (Samādhi) · Verse 69

तस्मादभ्यसनं कार्यं यावत्सिद्धिर्न जायते | मासान्ते सिद्धिमाप्नोति न चिरात्सिद्धिरुत्तमा

tasmādabhyasanaṃ kāryaṃ yāvatsiddhirna jāyate | māsānte siddhimāpnoti na cirātsiddhiruttamā

Therefore, practice must be done until achievement arises.At the end of the month you reach the achievement;The supreme achievement does not take long.

This verse offers practical instruction and a promise.Abhyasanaṃ kāryam — the practice must be done, it is obligatory, it is the work to be done.Yāvat siddhir na jāyate — until attainment arises.The internship is not optional nor does it have a fixed duration;It continues until it produces fruit.

Māsānte siddhim āpnoti — at the end of the month he attains achievement.This specific time indication can be interpreted literally (one month of intense practice) or as an indication that results are relatively quick for those who practice correctly.

Na cirāt siddhi uttamā — the supreme achievement does not take long.Svātmārāma encourages the practitioner: the fruits are not in the distant and indefinite future.The Bihar School interprets this not as a guarantee of instant enlightenment but as an affirmation that each session of correct practice produces tangible results.Progress is real and perceptible to those who sincerely commit.
