There is no Japping Naam in Gurmat. Guru says
ਊਠਤ ਬੈਠਤ ਸੋਵਤ ਧਿਆਈਐ ॥ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਚਲਤ ਹਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਗਾਈਐ ॥੧॥ AGGS 386
Oothat Baithat Sovat Dhiayai || Marag Chalat Hare Har Gayai ||1||
Chant the Name of the God while standing, sitting, sleeping and walking on the way.
How can one chant the Name (Naam) of the God with every breath, sitting, standing, sleeping and walking? Is it possible to chant while sleeping, working in the office, shop etc.? It is not possible. What Guru meant is to remember the spiritual knowledge and wisdom about virtues of the God all the time, with every breath. When we remember God every moment of our life, we will never do anything wrong in our life. Whenever we think of harming others we will remember God and stop it. We will not ask for bribe, not see women as sexual object and will not indulge in sexual harassment, not get angry when someone uses bad language for us, not get jealous of others wealth and get greedy, not look at our spouse and children as our property that they should obey us and we will not be egoistic. These are just few examples.
So controlling the Mann is to concentrate on Godly Virtues with each breath, every moment.
ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਸਦ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਸਚਿ ਰਹੇ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੧॥ – 37
We have to completely involve ourselves with the Shabad which we are studying. Try to do Vichar and research about each line which we are reading.
We have to understand and follow Gurbani written in Guru Granth Sahib so that we can become Sachyaar.
This will help us to control our mind.

The question is HOW TO CONTROL MIND WHEN DOING NAAM SIMRAN. Controlling mind mean no other thoughts cross mind. This is never possible and you will not succeed. Several thoughts enter our mind in one minute. This should not be our focus when doing SIMRAN. Our total focus be on changing the thoughts that enter our mind. This is the purpose of SIMRAN. TU TU KARTA TU HUAA. Yes thoughts enter our mind, but these thoughts are NOT worldly thoughts, these ARE DIVINE THOUGHTS when doing SIMRAN. WHEN DOING SIMRAN ONLY POSITIVE THOUGHTS WILL ENTER YOUR MIND. THAT IS OK.
