The month of Magh (mid-January to mid-February) is also very cold. In this month, going on pilgrimages and taking baths there is considered to be very auspicious. Through Magh, the
Guru says that the being, who, through the Wisdom (Guru) and the company of virtuous beings, praises IkOankar (the Divine), lives a virtuous life. It is as if the being has taken a bath at many pilgrimage sites. The being who follows this path does not need to rely upon traditionally prescribed rituals, like taking baths at sixty-eight pilgrimage sites, almsgiving, or being compassionate to beings. The being effortlessly receives all fruits said to be attained through these ritual practices.
