माला फेरत जुग भया, फिरा न मन का फेर । कर का मन का डार दे, मन का मनका फेर ॥
"Kabir says, by constant practice the fingers automatically roll over the beads while the unbridled mind keeps wandering astray. How very often we see people from almost every religion 'fiddling' with the rosary beads and reciting the name of God yet at the slightest provocation they swear and curse, without any hesitation, with the same 'twisting' tongue. We waste our entire life in performance of outer works of merits, but the soul finds no inlet. The veil within does not give way and soul remains without. We should therefore turn the bead of the mind, and it will act like a push-button giving an ingress of the soul to spiritual realms within. The true rosary lies in the mind, the rest is all sham and a worldly show. All such deeds are therefore of no avail. In vain is the rosary that loosens not the mind knot. While the untold treasure of divinity lies hidden within, we search for it without and so all our efforts go in vain."
