Most people take Simran as repetitive of one word. Gurmat condemns it as per Shabd:
ਰਾਮ ਰਾਮ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਕਹਿਐ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਰਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਤਾ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥ AGGS 491
Ram Ram Sabh Ko Kehai Kehiai Ram N Hoe || Gur Parasadi Ram Mann Vasai Ta Fal Pavai Koe ||1||
If someone chants, repetitively only by tongue Ram, Ram or the preferred Name of God; by such chanting, the God can’t be realized. The fruit of realization of God is through the grace of enlightenment.
Gurmat believes in:
ਸਾਸਿ ਸਾਸਿ ਸਿਮਰਹੁ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ॥ ਮਨ ਅੰਤਰ ਕੀ ਉਤਰੈ ਚਿੰਦ ॥ AGGS 295
Sas Sas Simarahu Gobind || Mann Antar Ki Otarai Chind ||
Chant the Name of the God with every breath and all worries and anxieties of the mind (Mann) will go away. 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.
