卐 सत्यराम सा 卐 

मना ! जप राम नाम लीजे, 

साधु संगति सुमिर सुमिर, 

रसना रस पीजै ॥टेक॥ 

साधू जन सुमिरन कर, 

केते जप जागे । 

अगम निगम अमर किये, 

काल कोइ न लागे ॥१॥ 

नीच ऊँच चिन्त न कर, 

शरणागति लीये । 

भक्ति मुक्ति अपनी गति, 

ऐसैं जन कीये ॥२॥ 

केते तिर तीर लागे, 

बन्धन भव छूटे । 

कलि मल विष जुग जुग के, 

राम नाम खूटे ॥३॥ 

भरम करम सब निवार, 

जीवन जप सोई । 

दादू दुख दूर करण, 

दूजा नहिं कोई ॥४॥

"Simran" (Manas Jap, Zikhr) means "Remembrance"; it also refers to the mantra practice of repeating various Names of God. 

"The Sikh Scriptures detail many a benefit from Simran. When an overwhelming adversity besets your path, when there is no other help, when foes hotly pursue you, when close relations desert you, when all hopes are dashed and when all avenues are closed, if you still remember God, no harm shall ever touch you." (Kirpal Singh) 

"By Simran of Holy Names, we get rid of the thoughts of the world. One feels the presence of God." (Kirpal Singh) 

Guru Nanak mentions in Jap Ji: "Ceaseless Simran is the ladder by which to reach the Mansion of the Lord. Were the tongue to multiply into many tongues, and each were to repeat His Name, it would still be inadequate." 

Kabir says: "During Simran the longing for God in one’s mind should be as intense as that of a lover for the beloved, so that sitting, standing, awake or asleep, the form of the beloved is always in the mind of the lover. He does not forget it even for a second." 

"The Names that are revealed to us by a True-Master carry His power, and this comes to the aid of the disciple, enabling him to transcend both death and the Negative Power." (Kirpal Singh)
