HHHeeeaaallliiinnnggg The word Simran is derived from Sanskritword
Smaran which means remembrance.Quit e t ruly simran makes us a re-
member -a partof divine.The verb form of simran is simar.Si- mar
means t o die over and simran enables you t o keep your ego aside
and shine fort h in a st at e of union wit h t he infinit e.The
pract ice of simran was firstexplicit ly enj oined in t he Sikh
fait h by Guru Nanak,t he firstGuru born in 1469.The word Sikh
means disciple.Guru Nanak is well known as Jagat( world)Guru.He,t
hereaft er,was followed by nine living Gurus.The same Gurus
lightshined in t he Gurus who followed t he first .The lastof t he
living Sikh Fait h,Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1708 best owed Guruship
before his demise t o Shri Guru Grant h Sahib. Sr iGur u Gr ant h

hymns)are t he act ual words spoken notonly by t he Ten Gurus of
Sikhism butalso has t hose of Saint s from ot her religions
including Hinduism and I slam. So Sikhs have 11 Gurus,10 in human

hatprot ect s as a large number of Sikhs t est ify t o t his fact .
The Guru t eaches his Sikh firstlife- affirmat ion by lift ing him
from ignorance and doubtt hrough Gyan ( knowledge) . 6I tis
explained t hatt he world is nota place of suffering,buta
meaningful creat ion of God.A Sikh is enj oined t o rise above
ego,and live a t rut hful family life of seva ( service of ot
hers)and simran. A Sikh shares his earnings,is helpful,regards ot
hers as equal and works t owards progress on individual and social
level. These si mpl e l ook i ng w ay s ofl i v i ng ar e,i n f act

unless you make ot hers smile.You cannothave prosperit y unless you
share prosperit y.A Sikh lives his life in t he knowledge t
hatWaheguru ( God)is ever present( Hazoor)and all is HI S. The life
of a Sikh is of simran. Naam is a st at e where Waheguru is
presentin t he conscious awareness and HI S presence is feltall
around. The pat h in t his world of a Sikh is t hatof being somet
imes separat ed in ego and some t imes in union as he is a
householder moving up in t he ladder of spirit ual union wit h
Gurus grace. A Sikh t hatfollows gurus t eachings get s his needs
fulfilled,t he obst acles are removed and t hings happen effort
lessly. Naam means t o know yourself SAME as HI M.Naam means t o be
aware of your divine origin.Gurus t eaching is live life wit h Naam

based on fear,hurt ,revenge,guilt ,anger,disappoint ment

Kit aa pasao ekoo kawao Japj i -SGGS page 3 Meaning of t his

Kawao. ( I tis difficultt o t ranslat e and explain Kaw ao butt his
word appears again atpage 463 where itis explained t hatt he life
and deat h are given and t aken in a Kawao so t his word means t

explained t he creat ion in t his manner: HE was ONE and t hen t
here was t he ent ire expanse. This explanat ion is also in
accordance wit h quant um physics conceptt hatt ime does notexist
,t here is only et ernal now.The world eventexist s as pot ent

27There are numerous inst ances in SGGSj i where t he ult imat e
realit y is explained in a variet y of ways so t hatt his becomes a
partof our knowledge i. e.gyan and we acceptt his as a realit y rat
her t han having doubt s. Accept ance of oneness in our daily
experience and our Divine nat ure as a factis import antfor living
life as a Gurmukh in t his physical world free from fear. Anot her
way The Ekonkar has been referred t o by Guru Sahibj i is as Sachh

friend,says Nanak, -SGGS page 1427 29Guru Sahibj i has used t wo
met aphors here t o describe t he creat ed world,firstas a Dream
and second as a wat er bubble.The inference t hatcan be made is :
i)Like a dream,t he world is notreal butis an illusion.ii)Like a
bubble,t he manifest ed world is in mot ion -appearing and
disappearing a sortof creat ion- dest ruct ion cycle in t he
source. To underst and t his,we have t o t ake recourse t o
whatscience has t o say aboutnat ure of our world. The science t

From where has itcome? Letus look atwhatis happening att he macro
level where our physical body operat es. We observe t hatmat t er

GOD) ,t his also one eat s( his percept ion changes accordingly)
,Whatone keeps in awareness regularly,so is t he pat h he follows.
- SGGS page 662 These were some gems from SGGSj i which hold
profound wisdom and offer us a formulae t o notonly change our mind
and t he circumst ances of our life butmove t owards an ideal life
. To underst and t he essence of Guru Sahibj is words,letus
firstlook atcurrentknowledge aboutour body and t he world we live
in: 1)We are said t o be t hree partbeings: spirit ,mind,and body.
2)Everyt hing begins wit h consciousness.Everyt hing t hathappens
in our life and everyt hing t hathappens in our body,begins wit h
somet hing happening in our consciousness 36 3)Our mind has broadly
t hree part s: Firstis conscious and t he second sub conscious.The
t hird being super conscious spirit ual mind. The t hought s we
have,t he words we hear and t he experiences we have,creat e our
beliefs.The sub conscious partis a st ore house of our beliefs,t he
skills we have learnt ,our at t it udes and percept ions.Whatwe do
notconsciously decide,t he sub consciousness t akes over and act s.
4)I tis well known t hat : As we t hink so we become. The t hought
s we have shape our view of t he world and at t ractt o us t hose
very t ypes of circumst ances and event s.We ourselves creat e our
own realit y. 5)The consciousness is notonly in our brain butis
everywhere and in each partof our body.Our brain is j ustan import
antpartof our body wit h a role in t he physical body.The illusion
is such t hatfor long,even scient ist s believed t he brain t o be
t he seatof t he mind.This can be compared t o t he belief t hatsun
revolved around t he eart h.Now scient ist s know t hatt he
consciousness is connect ed t o every cell in t he body. 6)The
physical body has a field of energy around itcommonly known as
Aura.This field has been st udied and even measured t hrough a
process known as Kirlian phot ography.The firstlayer of t his
energy field is an exactcopy of our physical body -a t emplat
e.When a limb is cutor an organ removed,it s et hric count
erpartremains.The nextlayers houses our emot ions and mind pat t

ourmi nd buti n ourbody s phy si ol ogy .37 Wit h any remembrance t
hrough t houghtof a word we feel t he corresponding effectin our
body as well.This means Thoughtand physiology are int erconnect ed.
7)The front ier science research part icularly t he works of Prof
Tiller and ot her physicist s are revealing t hatchange atconsci

- - - - - - - - >Energy Field - - - - - - > Physical Body.
The implicat ions are profound.This explains how many alt ernat ive
forms of t reat mentwork including reiki and pranic healing
8)Thought s we focus on in our mind have corresponding emot
ions.The t hought s and act ions which are based on love,warmt
h,grat it ude,appreciat ion,excit ement ,confidence and
cheerfulness have a posit ive effecton our body and keep it s funct
ioning healt hy.Whereas t hought s and act ions based on fear,hurt
,revenge,guilt ,anger,disappoint ment ,loneliness,et c.make our
body diseased. These negat i v e behav i ourchar act er i st i cs
have been classified in t o five cat egories as: Kam,Kr
odh,Lobh,Moh,and Ahank ar . The direct ions of t hought s we have
are eit her fear or love based.Most ly our t hought s are fear
relat ed. For example let s t ake anger.Normally itis notconnect ed
wit h fear.Anger lashes outatt he t argetwit houtany respector
care.Anger arises when you believe t hatyou are notcapable of being
underst ood.Anger comes when t he world is 38notbeing t he way you
wantitt o be as t he change fright ens.Hidden feeling is t hatof
being unwort hy and int ent ion is t o cont rol. Moh is at t
achmentsuch as t o family,son,and wife so lett here be bigger

insecurit y. We shape ourper sonal i t ybyt he t hought s w e ser

difficultt o break. How can a person caughtup in a PROBLEM focus on

SSSiiimmmrrraaannn MMMeeettthhhoooddd Meani ng ofSi mr an i s t o r

knowledge t o knowingness.
The gyan ( knowledge)t hatSGGSj i impart s us has t o be lived
in simran. Among gyan given by Guru Sahibj i are t he underst
andings,as already explained. Armed wit h t his knowledge of our
Divine origin and oneness of t he visible and invisible world,t he
firstst ep is t o reduce t he gap of separat ion we have from t he
essence. Simran is t he t ool t o bridge t his gap. Simran met hod
involves recit at ion of Guru Mant ra or/ and Gurus Shabads (
words) . Guru mant ra given by t he guru is w ahegur u( pronounced
as wahe- guru}wahe is an exclamat ion used when observing t he
creat ion wit h wonder. wahegurumant ra has been given by Guru
Sahibj i for t he purpose ofsimran . 40Her e i s t he met hod ofsi
mr an: i)Sitcomfort ably and close your eyes. Simran can be and is
done wit h eyes open aft er some pract ice. ii)For t he beginner
for sure and even for an adept ,t he t i me f orsi mr an prescribed
is preferably AmritVela ( early morning from approx 4 am t o 6
am)when t here is less worldly dist urbance or during any ot her
quiett ime. Simran is t o be done atall t he t imes even while
doing work.Exceptwhen mind is involved elsewhere because of worldly
affairs.For example simran can be done while walking,driving,wait
ing et c. iii)Simran is done by repeat ed recit at ion of t he Guru
Mant ra WAHE GURU in t he mind. Some beginners do t hisj ap by
saying WAHE while t aking breat h in and GURU while breat hing out
.Some beginners also st artby voicing outt he Gurumant ra butt his
is required t o me ut t ered ment ally only. ( iv)St artt o list en
t o your own voice repeat ing t he Gurumant ra.This is one of t he
essent ial part s of simran. Simran t hen t akes you inside t
hrough a nat ural gent le subt le aut omat ic pull and places your
focus pointinside t he head. Pl ace y ourat t ent i on f ocused i
nsi de. Wit h pract ice t his comes aboutnat urally. This pointof
focus is inside t he head.As t his is a pointin our subt le body it
s exactphysical body partcannotbe specified.Simran aut omat ically
pulls awareness inside and rest s itatt his point . Do Jap inside
wit houtmaking any sound.The voice is now inside you and also list
ened by you inside. 41Keep your awareness focused inside. v)Relax
your physical body by int ent ion alone.Feel itbeing relaxed.This
will ensure t hatsmall irrit at ions of t he body do notdist urb
you. vi) Feel t he presence of God HAZURI . This is anot her essent
ial partof simran.You will feel t he presence of god separat e from
you in t he beginning.This happens because t he ego ( haume)resist
s coming outof t he illusion of individualit y. I nit ial feeling
of presence of God may j ustbe a t hought ,a wish,and a sortof int
ellect ual presence.DO PERSI ST wit houtindulging in any doubt
.Keep t he focus back by feeling HI S presence suddenly t he veil
is lift ed.Time t aken depends upon your commit ment ,itcan happen
soon also. Do simran as much as possible keeping awareness inside.
vii)One can do simran using a shabad from SGGSj i or even a
line.These are repeat ed again and again as in t he case of
Gurumant ra,meaning we do j ap. viii)Do Simran wit h each breat h
while sit t ing,st anding,lying,walking,eat ing and while doing
your daily chores. ix)I tis essent ial t hatfocus be on formless
God only,if an image of God wit h a form is enshrined t hen furt
her progress is rest rict ed. 42Si mr an usi ng pow erw or ds and
Shabads f r om SGGS Banies ( ext ract s from SGGSj i)are recit ed
daily by millions.Butt here is an essent ial difference bet ween
reading and simran of banis. As guru Sahibj i explains:

1) When you look feel HI M looking.When walk feel HI M walking When
you do chores feel HI M doing.When you t alk feel HI M t alking
When you drive feel HI M driving.And so on Recit e Shabads from
SGGSj i which explain t his realit y.There are quit e a large

inside.Look att he world out side while doing simran.Feel HI S
presence in t he world.Feel him everywhere.Short ly t his feeling
will convertt o awareness of HI S presence. 3) Anot her simran is
TU HI, TU HI, TU HI, TU HI, . TU HIt ranslat es as THI S I S HI M
.While seeing anyt hing say TU HI . 4) Furt her simran is t o list

everyone.This can be heard easily when one st art s t o look

The Naam is t he Supportof t he eart h and solar syst ems. The Naam
is why t here are t he Simrit ees,t he Vedas and t he Puraanas. The
Naam is t he reason by which we hear of spirit ual wisdom and do
medit at ion. The Naam is also supportof t he ot her et hric
regions and dimensions. The Naam is t he reason for shape of all
bodies. The Naam is t he supportof all worlds and realms. Associat

shift ed from t he world of maya t o inside in t he

keep t he awareness inside connect ed wit h Naam while we are
living in t he physical world.From t his pointof at t ent ion,our
conscious awareness st art s t o funct ion wit h Naam connect

forceful and hold of maya reduced. Through daily Simran kirpa is
received.Kirpa comes abouteasily when condit ions are sat

When Kirpa comes,you act ually st artfeeling HI S presence and t
