Simran

Traditional Simran (Gurmukhi: ਸਿਮਰਨ, pronunciation: [sɪmɾǝn]; Hindi: सिमरण, सिमरन; from Sanskrit: स्मरण, smaraṇa, 'to remember, reminisce, recollect'), in spirituality, is a Hindi and Punjabi word referring to the continuous remembrance of the finest aspect of the self, and/or the continuous remembrance (or feeling) of God.Sikhism is a distinct faith, whereby God can be realized purely through individual devotion, without subjection to rites and rituals by priests or other intermediaries.This is because si-mar means 'to die over', thus indicating the death of ego, allowing the realization of ultimate truth (sach) to appear.On page 202 of the Guru Granth Sahib: Simar simar sukh paa-i-aa Meditating, meditating in remembrance, I have found peace This hymn teaches that a person who wishes to gain from this human life must attain a higher spiritual state by becoming free of attachment by realizing emptiness of worldly phenomena.Thereby, merit is acquired by devoutly repeating, comprehending, and living by the sacred word every day so as to progressively reveal the divine and ultimate truth to the person who earnestly seeks it: Guru Ram Das says in Sarang ki var (Guru Granth Sahib, 1242): Nām, the incorruptible is beyond our comprehending.
