I have read the various comments on the topic of " What is more important, Seva or Simran " and my own contribution is as follows:-
Why do we need to distinguish the importance of one over the other. Surely the important thing is that they be done, either individually or together. | | The following members appreciate Gurdaas Ji for the above message. | |

I think simran's more personal, and in a sense almost selfish... its for our own piece of mind. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/37550-which-is-more-important-simran-sewa.htmlReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37550
Seva is more selfless in that its focus is on others. So out of the two, I think Seva is the heavyweight just b/c I think thats kinda the outcome of Simran anyways. Internal to external. you feeling healthy and good is only worth something if you extend it to others. idk, just my thoughts.
Wow, harry ji, this topic really made me think. | | The following member appreciates Navdeep88 Ji for the above message. | |

Sat Sri Akaal,
One's self is always in action and there are three kind of "Actions" or "Seva"
Physical Action
Vocal or Speech as Action
Thought as Action
Thinking is also "action" which is seed of action,
no physical or vocal action can appear if thought has not appeared.
One may be (Aware) or (Unaware) Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37550
One shall "remember" or "Simar" or do "Simran" of "Guru's Bani" Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37550
"Simran" of Guru's Bani" is way of life to all one performs.
One can maintain metaphysical balance and follow right path through
"Seva" with "Simran"

I voted "I don't know, not because I really don't know, but because there was no fourth alternative of "something else."
This is like asking which of my legs is more important. I can hobble around on one leg, if necessary, but it's terribly inefficient and difficult. Much better to be able to use both legs to walk. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37550
Perhaps it would be more accurate to ask whether oxygen or hydrogen are more important to water. Silly question! Without both, water cannot exist. In such a way, sewa and simran are both essential to being a Sikh.
For a few years, I had focused heavily on sewa and really did quite a lot of good things, but not long ago I realised that I had not been growing as I should as a Sikh. I had been doing some decidedly half-hearted attempts at simran, but had really neglected it. My life was way out of balance. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37550
I realised that I needed to stand back and get some balance in my life. I started out by closing my bloated Facebook account and cutting back on my other activities. I still participate here, but much less than I did before.
I am still doing sewa, but more quietly, unseen, I hope, and directing more of my energy toward simran. We'll see how that works out.  | | The following members appreciate Mai Harinder Kaur Ji for the above message. | |

seva is simran, service to waheguru. You are serving waheguru, not people.

I agree with your sentiments, however if Sewa is a form of Simran, I cannot see how Simran can be a form of Sewa............ | | The following member appreciates harry haller Ji for the above message. | |
