Respected Vin Kaur ji
Jap or Jaap means to read any Paath or Shabad over and over or slowly.
Simran means to always remember. In Dhan Guru Granth Sahib, Simran is used primarily to remember God.
ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਤੇ ਮਿਟੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਚਿੰਤਾ।।(189)
ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਸੁਖੁ ਨਹੀ ਪਾਇਆ।।(196)
This means that Simran means to always remember the good qualities that came in Gurbani and to keep trying to live our life according to those good qualities. This is Simran. If we don’t do Simran, meaning don’t remember the virtues mentioned in Gurbani, then understand, we will always remain spiritually miserable.
