माला फेरत जुग भया

माला फेरत जुग भया, फिरा न मन का फेर । कर का मन का डार दे, मन का मनका फेर ॥

An age passed rotating the beads of the rosary, yet the mind did not rotate (inwards to God);Drop the rosary from your hands and rotate the beads of the mind.

The seer sees the world through the mind's eye assisted by the senses.The mind looses all the discretion(viveka) between the seer and seen while it is engrossed by the senses in the outside world and accumulates impressions and modifications or impurities that act like dust on the mirror that cloud the vision and so the reflection of the seer is not seen in the mind's mirror.But when the mind cuts out the effect of the senses through practice of looking inwards assisted by non attachment and devotion to God, it is able to wipe off the dust of impressions and then the image or reflection of the seer is seen clearly and the distinction between the seer and seen becomes apparent and when this happens the seer rests back in its original form and mind is relieved of the cycle of birth and death. तदा द्रष्टुः स्वरूपे अवस्थानम् II---yogasutra of patanjali

Kabir says we should practise this turning of the mind inwards.Nothing is achieved by showing off to everyone how religious you are by turning the rosary and mulling worldly things in the mind.
