Gurbani Disapproves Counting Beads

In Gurban the Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS), there is NO concept of spirituality of counting (ਗਿਣਤੀ ਮਿਣਤੀ). Counting based spirituality is critiqued and rejected in the Gurbani with no uncertain terms.

External Rosary

The imagery of a external rosary (Maalaa or Mala, Tasbi, Simrani, Japamali…) is common across religious traditions. It is used as religious paraphernalia, and often seen as physical markers of auspiciousness, religious piety and spiritual accomplishment.

That said, the Gurbani of SGGS teaches us telling beads or counting beads is of NO VALUE — ‘Phokat’.

It’s so because the Creator or God mentioned in the Gurbani is Formless, within, beyond mundane calculations (‘ਅਗਣਤ-Incalculable’), beyond mundane counting, beyond any calculated relationship or Bhagti etc.

• ਗਣਤੈ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮੀਤਾ ॥ : The Divine cannot be obtained by counting; the mortal wanders in doubt — Maya, duality etc. (sggs 510).
• ਅਗਣਤ ਊਚ ਅਪਾਰ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਅਗਮ ਜਾ ਕੋ ਧਾਮਾ ॥ : Incalculable, great and infinite is the Divine. Unapproachable is His location (with clever tricks or intellect). (sggs 546).

In short, the Gurbani in the SGGS critiques and rejects the spirituality of counting (Gintee Mintee-ਗਿਣਤੀ ਮਿਣਤੀ). Guru Nanak makes this crystal clear in the onset of the SGGS (Pauri 32 of the Jup Bani):

• ਇਕ ਦੂ ਜੀਭੌ ਲਖ ਹੋਹਿ ਲਖ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਲਖ ਵੀਸ ॥ ਲਖੁ ਲਖੁ ਗੇੜਾ ਆਖੀਅਹਿ ਏਕੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਗਦੀਸ ॥ ਏਤੁ ਰਾਹਿ ਪਤਿ ਪਵੜੀਆ ਚੜੀਐ ਹੋਇ ਇਕੀਸ ॥ ਸੁਣਿ ਗਲਾ ਆਕਾਸ ਕੀ ਕੀਟਾ ਆਈ ਰੀਸ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਦਰੀ ਪਾਈਐ ਕੂੜੀ ਕੂੜੈ ਠੀਸ ॥੩੨॥ : If a person’s tongue should become one Lakh, and from one Lakh becomes twenty Lakhs. If with these twenty Lakhs tongues a person repetitively chant one (preferred) name of God Lakhs of time. The way to realizing the Creator requires the elevation of one’s Conscience (Surt) / spirituality rung by rung. Upon hearing the narrative of elevated Conscience (Surt) / spirituality, the pretentious come to imitate it. Nanak, the realization of the Creator within is through the Grace of Enlightenment, the imitated ways of the pretentious are devoid of realization. ||32|| (sggs 7).

The purpose of reading and listening of the Gurbani is to change the faulty thinking (corrupt mind, Soch or thinking, actions…) and elevate it to accept the Divine Virtues/Divine Hukam by understanding it, and then living it in daily life as ‘Sachiaaraa‘.

Fittingly, counting beads is disapproved (ਨਿਖੇਧੀ) or rejected in the Gurmat (spiritual Wisdom, Upadesh or Way of the SGGS).

When Bhagat Kabeer realized he wasted his life in Kashi (‘ਸਗਲ ਜਨਮੁ ਸਿਵ ਪੁਰੀ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥’, sggs 326). — by seeing others and following rituals (Karamakaand) prescribed by the Brahmin / Pundit (such as telling beads etc) — he moved out from that place.

According to the Gurbani, the mind of a person who tells beads (ਮਾਲਾ ਫੇਰਨੀ) is full of hunger for Maya — greed. After realizing the uselessness of counting beads, he threw away the rosary and declared:

• ਭੂਖੇ ਭਗਿਤ ਨ ਕੀਜੈ ॥ ਯਹ ਮਾਲਾ ਅਪਨੀ ਲੀਜੈ ॥ : Greed/hunger for Maya prevents my Bhagti towards the Creator within. (O my mind!) Eliminate this pretentious Bhagti influenced by greed/hunger for Maya — such as telling beads. (sggs 656).

Mind that takes on rosary (Maalaa) is called ‘Nipootae-ਨਿਪੂਤੇ’ in the Gurbani (literally ‘Nipootae‘ means worthless son. But, since the Gurbani addresses our minds, here it means the worthless mind — ਔਂਤਰਾ ਮਨ).

• ਜਬ ਕੀ ਮਾਲਾ ਲਈ ਨਿਪੂਤੇ ਤਬ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਭਇਓ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ : Ever since this worthless son (i.e., mind, ਔਂਤਰਾ ਮਨ) has taken the Maalaa (rosary), since than there has been no Sukha (Joy, ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤੀ, Gain, etc.)! ||1||Pause|| (sggs 856).

Thus the Gurbani repudiates (Khandan) Pakhand-Baazee (deception, hypocrisy, humbug, pretense, etc.) of counting beads. Such nonsense was introduced by the anti-Nanak Pujaaree clique (clergy) – freeloading babas or sadhs (ਵੇਹਲੜ), ignorant Bhais / Ragis / Granthis / Pathis / Dhadis / Parcharaks, so called Jathedars etc schooled and trained in Taksali, Deraa, Sampardayi, Sanatanism, Nirmala or Benaras traditions who present Gurmat of Guru Nanak as an appendage of the more older Sanatan philosophy.

• ਪਾਖੰਡਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਨਿਰਤਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੩॥ : Love of the Pakhnad Bhagati (Bhagati of show-ਵਿਖਾਵੇ ਦੀ ਭਗਤੀ) brings only pain. ||3|| (sggs 364).
• ਭਾਗਠਿ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਪੜੈ ਨਿਤ ਪੋਥੀ ॥ ਮਾਲਾ ਫੇਰੈ ਮੰਗੈ ਬਿਭੂਤ ॥ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਤਰਿਓ ਮੀਤ ॥੩॥ : In the home of the wealthy, you read the religious book. You chant on Maalaa, and beg for money. O friend! In this way, no one has ever gone across (from Bhav Saagar to Sukh Saagar). ||3|| (sggs 888).

Instead of correcting this mistake, unfortunately, this Un-Gurmat Karamkaand (ritual) is further being propagated by the anti-Gurmat elements. It’s all ‘Golak Daa Chakkar‘ (business in the name of Gurbani)!

In addition to the self-serving Pujaaree-Vaad, shameless painters (e.g. Shobha Singh etc.) also cashed on Gurus by painting fictitious pictures of the Gurus depicting them with Mala (rosary) around their neck, in their turban, in their hands etc.

• ਗਲਿ ਮਾਲਾ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਲਿਲਾਟੰ ॥ ਦੁਇ ਧੋਤੀ ਬਸਤ੍ਰ ਕਪਾਟੰ ॥ ਜੇ ਜਾਣਸਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰ ਕਰਮੰ ॥ ਸਭਿ ਫੋਕਟ ਨਿਸਚਉ ਕਰਮੰ ॥ : Around (your) neck is a rosary, and on forehead is a sacred mark. (You) cover head with a cloth, and keep two loin cloths. If (you) know the Way of the Brahm, (then you would) definitely know that all rituals are of no value. (sggs 470).
• ਮਾਥੇ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਹਥਿ ਮਾਲਾ ਬਾਨਾਂ ॥ ਲੋਗਨ ਰਾਮੁ ਖਿਲਉਨਾ ਜਾਨਾਂ ॥੧॥ : (People think they become Dharmic or Bhagat if they simply) apply (1) ceremonial marks to their foreheads, (2) hold Maalaa or rosary in their hands, and (3) wear religious dress. People think that Rabb (Universal Energy, System or Law of Nature…) is a toy or a play-thing (i.e., they think Rabb can be pleased or fooled by religious paraphernalia or symbols). ||1|| (sggs 1158)!

Some paintings even show a jug (Lotaa-ਲੋਟਾ) besides Guru Nanak, which are all rejected in the Gurbani, calling those who display such religious paraphernalia thugs of Banaras (‘ਬਾਨਾਰਸਿ ਕੇ ਠਗ’)!

• ਗਜ ਸਾਢੇ ਤੈ ਤੈ ਧੋਤੀਆ ਤਿਹਰੇ ਪਾਇਨਿ ਤਗ ॥ ਗਲੀ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਾ ਜਪਮਾਲੀਆ ਲੋਟੇ ਹਥਿ ਨਿਬਗ ॥ ਓਇ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਸੰਤ ਨ ਆਖੀਅਹਿ ਬਾਨਾਰਸਿ ਕੇ ਠਗ ॥੧॥ ਐਸੇ ਸੰਤ ਨ ਮੋ ਕਉ ਭਾਵਹਿ ॥ ਡਾਲਾ ਸਿਉ ਪੇਡਾ ਗਟਕਾਵਹਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥  : (Freeloading/Pakhandi Sant/Sadh) they wear three and a half yard long loincloths, and triple-wound sacred threads. They wear rosaries around their necks, and glittering jugs in their hands. Just because of such religious paraphernalia they should not be called Sant of God — they are thugs of Baanaaras (i.e., religious conmen, cheats, robbers…). Fallen from human thinking, such pretentious so called Sant are not pleasing to me. Because, they rob their victims of not only their wealth, but also of their life which is like gulping down the entire tree instead of consuming just a branch. ||1||Pause|| (sggs 476).

Gurmat recommends Internal Rosary

The Gurbani teaches to make the One Naam (spiritual Wisdom / Virtues / Hukam…) the rosary enshrined within the mind.

• ਹਿਰਦੈ ਜਪਨੀ ਜਪਉ ਗੁਣਤਾਸਾ ॥ : Internally Recite / Realize / Internalize / remember the Treasure of Divine Virtues within the heart (mind). This alone is the rosary. (sggs 841).
• ਜਪਹੁ ਤ ਏਕੋ ਨਾਮਾ ॥ ਅਵਰਿ ਨਿਰਾਫਲ ਕਾਮਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ : Realize the One Naam (Wisdom / Virtues). All other deeds (i.e. all rituals, which fail to bring Realization of the One Naam) are useless efforts. ||1||Pause|| (sggs 728)..
• ਰਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਜਪਮਾਲੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ : Let your rosary be the enshrining of Ram (-Naam) in your Heart. ||1||Pause|| (sggs 503).
• ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਅਖਰ ਦੁਇ ਇਹ ਮਾਲਾ ॥ ਜਪਤ ਜਪਤ ਭਏ ਦੀਨ ਦਇਆਲਾ ॥੧॥ (sggs 388).

In a nutshell, the SGGS urges us to make the Virtuous conduct (ਨੇਕ ਆਚਰਨ) our Maalaa (rosary). In other words, Gurmat asks us to turn Divine Virtues within our hearts like a rosary.

• ਸਾਲ ਗ੍ਰਾਮ ਬਿਪ ਪੂਜਿ ਮਨਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਕ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਤੁਲਸੀ ਮਾਲਾ ॥ : O Brahmin! Instead of worshiping the stone-god (idol worship), worship (or understand Raam or Mool within) and try pleasing Him. Practice Virtuous conduct, this is your rosary (sggs 1170).
• ਕਰਣੀ ਕਾਬਾ ਸਚੁ ਪੀਰੁ ਕਲਮਾ ਕਰਮ ਨਿਵਾਜ ॥ ਤਸਬੀ ਸਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵਸੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਰਖੈ ਲਾਜ ॥੧॥ : Let good conduct be your Kaabaa, Truth your spiritual guide, and good deeds your Kalma and prayer (Namaaj). Let your rosary be that which is pleasing to the Divine. O Nanak! The honor of (such Musalman) is preserved. ||1|| (sggs 140).
• ਕਬੀਰ ਮੇਰੀ ਸਿਮਰਨੀ ਰਸਨਾ ਊਪਰਿ ਰਾਮੁ ॥ ਆਦਿ ਜੁਗਾਦੀ ਸਗਲ ਭਗਤ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਸੁਖੁ ਬਿਸ੍ਰਾਮੁ ॥੧॥ : O Kabeer! The Divine (Wisdom, Virtues…) is on my tongue. This is my Rosary. Form the beginning, all Bhagat dwell in peace through it. (sggs 1364).

Bhagat Kabeer questions: If you do not understand Ram (Mool, Hari, Gobind, Prabh, Allah…) within, then what use is this external rosary to you that you wear and show it to people?

• ਕਬੀਰ ਜਪਨੀ ਕਾਠ ਕੀ ਕਿਆ ਦਿਖਲਾਵਹਿ ਲੋਇ ॥ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਹੀ ਇਹ ਜਪਨੀ ਕਿਆ ਹੋਇ ॥੭੫॥ : O Kabeer! Why do you show other people your wooden rosary beads? You do not remember Raam (Mool…) in your Heart, so what use is this rosary to you? ||75|| (sggs 1368).
• ਰਾਮੁ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਫਿਰੈ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥ : The entire world goes about CHANTING God’s name, but none realized Him. (sggs 555).
• ਕਬੀਰ ਬੈਸਨੋ ਹੂਆ ਤ ਕਿਆ ਭਇਆ ਮਾਲਾ ਮੇਲੀਂ ਚਾਰਿ ॥ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਬਾਰਹਾ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਭਰੀ ਭੰਗਾਰ ॥ : O Kabeer! What good is it to appear like a devotee of Vishnu, and wear four Maalaa (rosary)? On the outside, you (pretend to) look like pure gold (i.e., pious, holy, pure, Mahaatamaa…); but on the inside, you are stuffed with filth or Bhangaar (Bikaar: lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and their numerous variations…). (sggs 1372).
• ਰਿਦੈ ਕੂੜੁ ਕੰਠਿ ਰੁਦ੍ਰਾਖੰ ॥ : (O lewd man!) You wear the Rudraksha Rosary around your neck, but your Heart is filled with falsehood (sggs 1351).

But still, as seen everyday, the emphasis of the self-serving Pujaaree clique is only to promote religious paraphernalia and useless rituals (Karamkaand), which are strongly rejected in the Gurbani. Because all such calculations are in false ego-sense (Haumai).

This spiritual counsel of the Gurbani enshrined within the SGGS is also meant for those who identify themselves as Sikhs! Surprize!

• ਖੇਚਰ ਭੂਚਰ ਤੁਲਸੀ ਮਾਲਾ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ : Control of the breath (Praanaayaam) and wearing Maalaa of Tulsi beads, are found contained in the Grace of the spiritual Knowledge (Gur-Giyan). (sggs 973).
• ਸਚੁ ਵਰਤੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਤੀਰਥੁ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ॥ ਦਇਆ ਦੇਵਤਾ ਖਿਮਾ ਜਪਮਾਲੀ ਤੇ ਮਾਣਸ ਪਰਧਾਨ ॥ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਧੋਤੀ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਚਉਕਾ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਕਰਣੀ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਭਾਉ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਤ ਕੋਈ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥ : The most exalted people (Pardhaan) are those persons who make truth their fasting (‘Varat‘), contentment their pilgrim-location, Wisdom and meditation their ablution, compassion their deity, and forgiveness their rosary. Those for whom the Virtuous/honest Way of life is their lion-cloth (i.e. religious garb worn by the Pujaaree), keeping their Conscience clean is their cooking enclosure, high moral character is their sacred mark on their forehead, and true Love is their Spiritual Food; Nanak, extremely RARE is such person. ||1|| (sggs 1245).

All counting is for the conditioned or material mindset (Manmukh, Mayadhaaree, Saakat …). Because, consumed by the fire of Maya and greed, the lifestyle of such mindset is in the realm of calculations, in the realm of outer domination.

• ਹਿਰਦੈ ਫੇਰਿ ਚਲੈ ਤੁਧੁ ਨਾਲੀ ॥੧॥ : Tell beads (of Naam) within your Heart, and it will go along with you. ||1|| (sggs 1134).
• ਤਸਬੀ ਯਾਦਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਦਸ ਮਰਦਨੁ ਸੁੰਨਤਿ ਸੀਲੁ ਬੰਧਾਨਿ ਬਰਾ ॥੭॥ : Let your meditation beads be the subjugation of the ten senses. Let good conduct and self-restraint (from Bikaar) be your circumcision. ||7|| (sggs 1084).

There is no counting or calculations for the one who has become the Gurmukh (Enlightened or Guru Shabad-Oriented); because he knows he is not separate from the Divine within. He thus relieves himself of all egoistic or mental calculations through the constant abidance in his Jot Saroop within.

• ਗਣਤ ਗਣੈ ਸੋ ਜਲੈ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥ ਸਹਸਾ ਮੂਲਿ ਨ ਚੁਕੈ ਵਿਕਾਰਾ ॥ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੁ ਗਣਤ ਚੁਕਾਏ ਸਚੇ ਸਚਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥ : One who keeps on (worldly or Mayaic) counting all the time, is always burning (in the hidden fire of Maya, Trishna etc.) in the world. His doubt does not end at all. The spirituality of Shabad enables the elimination of countings (Gintee Mintee-ਗਿਣਤੀ ਮਿਣਤੀ); and creates Realization of the Creator Within. (sggs 1062).
• ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਗਲੀ ਗਣਤ ਮਿਟਾਵੈ ॥ : Those who have become Gurmukh (Enlightened mind with the spirituality of the Shabad), eliminate all counting (Gintee Mintee-ਗਿਣਤੀ ਮਿਣਤੀ from within the mind). (sggs 942).

The Gurbani teaches us that crowds and crowds are attracted to the path of Pakhand (ਪਖੰਡਵਾਦ) in the world. Therefore, the Gurbani’s teaching is to become the Gurmukh (enlightened / Guru Shabad-Oriented) and stop Pakhand or Parpanch (hypocrisy, deception, worldly entanglements, etc.) or imitating others.

According to the Gurmat Sidhaant, it’s the consciousness (Surat-ਸੁਰਤ) or the mind (Soch-ਸੋਚ) that needs to become a Sikh (lifelong learner – ਸਿਖਿਆਰਥੀ) of the Giyan-Wisdom of the Shabad-Guru. Hence, common sense suggests it’s the Surat or mind (not the gross body-frame) that needs to tell beads, NOT the physiological hands or fingers.

• ਸਬਦੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਧੁਨਿ ਚੇਲਾ ॥: The SHABAD is my GURU (i.e. the Source of my Enlightenment), and my conscience (Surat, mind) is the disciple (of this SHABAD GURU (i.e. I adherer to the Instructions contained within the Shabad). (sggs 943).

Therefore, instead of nonsense rituals like counting beads, Guru Nanak placed tremendous emphasis on Virtuous conduct, and conforming with the Divine Hukam. After all, human actions are the louder expressions of his thoughts (Soch). According to Guru Nanak, truth or truthfulness is the foundation of all Virtues.

Of all the human faculties, the most important is the mind we humans have to work with in our daily life. Hence, the Gurmat teaches us:

• ਹਿਰਦੈ ਸਚੁ ਏਹ ਕਰਣੀ ਸਾਰੁ ॥ ਹੋਰੁ ਸਭੁ ਪਾਖੰਡੁ ਪੂਜ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥੬॥ : Realize the Creator within the Heart, make this your sole aim. Otherwise all else is falsity (Pakhand) and the worship of falsity as such. ||6|| (sggs 1343).

In a nutshell, those who (1) count beads, (2) preach others to count beads and (3) describe the Gurus and Bhagat as counting beads (ਮਾਲਾ ਫੇਰਦੇ) or (4) portray them wearing rosary (Maalaa) are either anti-Gurmat, or totally clueless about the Gurmat, or both.

• ਆਸਕੁ ਏਹੁ ਨ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿ ਲੇਖੈ ਵਰਤੈ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥: (A person) cannot be called lover if he behaves only in calculated love. ||1|| (sggs 474).
• ਗਲਿ ਮਾਲਾ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਲਿਲਾਟੰ ॥ ਦੁਇ ਧੋਤੀ ਬਸਤਰ ਕਪਾਟੰ ॥ ਜੇ ਜਾਣਸਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰ ਕਰਮੰ ॥ ਸਭਿ ਫੋਕਟ ਨਿਸਚਉ ਕਰਮੰ॥ : If (you) know the Way of the Brahm, (then you would) definitely know that all rituals are of no value. (sggs 470).
• ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਆਸਣੁ ਤੁਲਸੀ ਮਾਲਾ ॥ ਕਰ ਊਜਲ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਕਪਾਲਾ ॥ ਰਿਦੈ ਕੂੜੁ ਕੰਠਿ ਰੁਦ੍ਰਾਖੰ ॥ ਰੇ ਲੰਪਟ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨੁ ਅਭਾਖੰ ॥੪॥ : You (use) the seat of deer skin and tell the rosary (Maalaa) of Tulsi. Clean your hands you put Tilak on the forehead. You have a rosary (Maalaa) of Rudrakh around your neck, but there is deceit (ਠੱਗੀ) in your Heart. (O Lampat: lewed man!) You are not remembering the Divine (i.e., this is not Simran!). ||4|| (sggs 1351).
• ਕਾਜੀ ਹੋਇ ਕੈ ਬਹੈ ਨਿਆਇ ॥ ਫੇਰੇ ਤਸਬੀ ਕਰੇ ਖੁਦਾਇ ॥ ਵਢੀ ਲੈ ਕੈ ਹਕੁ ਗਵਾਏ ॥ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਪੁਛੈ ਤਾ ਪੜਿ ਸੁਣਾਏ ॥ : Becoming judges, they sit and administer justice. They chant on their Rosary (Mala), and call upon God. They accept bribes, and block justice. If someone asks them, they read quotations from their books. (sggs 951).
• ਧੋਤੀ ਊਜਲ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਗਲਿ ਮਾਲਾ ॥ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੁ ਪੜਹਿ ਨਾਟ ਸਾਲਾ ॥ (sggs 832).
