This discourse is a continuation from Part 1 of Attaining Mantra Siddhi.
Om Swami says the more comfortable the surroundings are in Sadhana, the more the mind will wander. And if you do Sadhana in a difficult environment, your mind will concentrate better.
In the Dakṣiṇācāra (Right-hand path), which is the Sattvic path. In this path, it is rather impossible for a man to attain Siddhi, but It's possible for a woman. This is because women have feelings of love. If they are in love, they can sit anywhere and chant and meditate. However, this is not possible for men.
If a person is really serious about attaining Siddhi, the truth is that they are not going to get it by sitting at home or an ashram. The probability is very less. You'll mostly only attain it from the place
where it belongs. We'll get the learning from the place of origin. This is a truth that
is indisputable. Everything will go back to its source.

"If there’s one thing everyone must gift themselves in their lives, in my humble opinion, is a stint of Himalayan solitude. It is transformational. And until you can do that, just sit in any quiet corner, close your eyes and allow yourself to flow. No thoughts, no thinking, no reflection, just flow like a mountain stream, a gentle breeze, like the murmuring ganges. It’s only in that flow that you will discover the source of eternal happiness: silence of the mind." os.me/himalaya...
