Kabir said "

mala fire haath me , jaban fire mukhmahi ,
aaankh chaudis fire , ye to samaran nahi

The mala is moving in your fingers , your toungue ismoving in your mouth
,your eyes are looking everywhere , this definitely is not meant to be
chanting of the mantra.

Kabir also says

Ram Ram Sab Koi kahe , Dashra kahe na Koi ,
ek bar Dashrat kahe , Koti yagya phal hoi !!
