Simran means remembering Waheguru by saying or thinking about His name
In Sikhi (Sikhism), Simran (ਸਿਮਰਨ) refers to the remembrance and meditation on Waheguru (the Divine). It is a core spiritual practice that involves continuously focusing the mind on God’s name (Naam Simran) to cultivate inner peace, humility, and a connection with the divine.
Simran is not just about repeating a name; it is about deeply experiencing Waheguru’s presence in every moment.
“ਸਿਮਰਿ ਮਨਾ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਚਿਤਾਰੇ ॥”
“O my mind, remember and meditate upon the Lord’s Name.” (SGGS, 67)
“ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥”
“By meditating, meditating, meditating on Him, I have found peace.” (SGGS, 262)
“ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਾ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਸਭ ਤੇ ਊਚਾ ॥”
“Meditation on God is the highest action.” (SGGS, 263)
