Tomorrow people may ask question 'Can Guru misguide you?'
The obvious answer is no.
Similarly, the Simran as it is talked in Guru Granth Sahib can not be bad for you. Not even if you do more of it every day! Similarly no 'Sant' is a bad person.
The problem is that we equate the Shabad's terms with people/ideas in real life, and then we are left wondering.
What I am talking is about breaking the mental picture we have associated with these terms (including how we define or imagine God, Lord, etc. as) and connecting how Guru describes it to us! As far as Guru is concerned, Guru says even if 24 hours a day you are engrossed in Simran, you will not be harmed in any way!

Define simran? From my understanding of Gurbani, simran is the constant remembering of Waheguru and trying to live by the guidance of Gurbani. Taken in this context there is no such thing as too much simran. | | The following members appreciate findingmyway Ji for the above message. | |

Exactly Findimyway jio..
Simran is NOT whats it made out to be today..mouthing/muttering/mala ferring etc of a single word endlessly..seated in various positions, lighting conditions, enviornment etc etc..
TRUE SIMRAN is LIVING TRUTHFUL LIFE as described in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. IN Fact Guru Ji declares.. HIGH is TRUTH..BUT HIGHER STILL is TRUTHFUL LIVING...and we have to strive hard to LIVE GURBANI so that we in fact BECOME GURBANI in real life....and thats a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT very rarely achieved...so saying that "its too much/bad etc is utter and sheer NONSENSE.PERIOD. In Todays world and society..LIVING TRUTHFULLY is an achievement by itself..so much lieing, untruthfullness, cheating. hera-feri bluffing, white lies, etc etc etc have become a WAY of LIFE to almost all...parents lie in fornt of their kids.."tell the salesman i am not home..Kids lie to their parents, shopkeepers lie to their customers..workers lie about being sick..etc etc etc..its almost "acceptable" and perfectly OK !! to most people.. PRAYA HAAK..grabbing is almost a must do..people grab your place in the que and push themsleves in front just to hurry up....people grab your seat on the bus..people grab your parking space in the Mall....people grab your waiter before he cna serve you..etc etc...apart from the more serious land grabs, propoerty grabs, murders, bank acquisitions etc etc..robberies, looting, purse snatching, kidnapping etc etc... Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=38496Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=38496
Thus There Cannot be "over simran" if we do it the RIGHT WAY....yeah IF its mouthing a single word..your mouth may get tired..if ist turning the mala beads..your thumb may begin to hurt...and you may be excused for thinking that "simran" ha s been overdone and thats bad..BUT thsta a wrong definition of simran.  | | The following members appreciate Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji for the above message. | |

oooOOPs, I've just realized, ... I am still doing the pretend simran to help me stop getting into mischief!!! |
