Mala And Touf

[HisServant]

VJKK VJKF

I've never understood why people use touf and mala's during their meditation. Is there a spiritual significance? Do they help a lot? Am I missing out for not using them?

[BhagatSingh]

Anything can have a spiritual significance if you give it spiritual significance. If you don't give any spiritual significance then no matter how spiritually significant it is, it won't have any spiritual significance.

Now about why people use them:

Dhoof smells good and when you are trying to minimize distractions then it helps to mask bad odours with good ones. Smell plays a huge part as it can subconsciously irritate us or ease us. We want to be at ease when meditating and so dhoof helps with that.

Mala is a timer. Back then they didn't have watches and clocks that went beep beep. So they counted time on their mala. They knew 108 beads with X rotations of the mala = Y hours (for them it was position of the sun). The hand can easily tell when the mala completes a rotation because of the fluffy bit or big bead depending on what mala you use. And so you can train yourself to automatically keep track of time while you meditate deeply with your eyes closed.

So are you missing out? You won't know until you try them. Do the 30-day test.

ਨਾਮ ਜਪ ਨਾਲ ਮਾਲਾ ਦਾ ਸਿੱਧ ਹੋਣਾ - MALA JAAP SIDHI

I am really sorry soulfinder veerji -- no offence but this is a Very misleading and a wrong video. Totally against the Gurbani pankti written by Kabir ji in the video itself. 

anyone listening to this video please replace the word mala with Jivha or tongue as you listen to it. Materials don't become parmesar the roop - Mann does. Human soul does. 

if we chant waheguru, we get sugandhi from INSIDE NOT FROM MAALA. if we do jaap the fruit is bestowed to our Mann not to wood or plastic simarni. Hide your inside self from negativity NOT materialistic maala.

There is a trend these days on youtube, to add masala and unnecessarily sensationalize stories. 

No doubt , that Naam will create certain vibration, and it will be spread to where ever you go, and what ever you touch.
