Such a bath can purify even a sinner, for it has the power to wash away all external and internal contaminations. Whereas a WARM water bath cleanses physically, cold water revitalizes the subtle body, removing the influence of sleep and dreams as well as of evil-minded persons. The cold bath also gives strength, sensitivity, longevity, effulgence, and purity. Taking an early-morning cold bath increases one's knowledge and determination and affords peace of mind. It removes unhappiness, lamentation, degradation, and bad thoughts. In short, it counteracts all the ill effects of sin. At night the nine holes of the body become filled with waste products, Which are continuously produced. The early-morning bath most effectively Removes all of this dirt so that the body can begin its daily activities in a fresh state. In this way the early-morning bath has positive physical, mental, and spiritual effects, and is therefore highly glorified in the scriptures. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
