== Sikhism ==

''Simran''—commonly used as a verb in [[Gurmukhi]]—refers to 'meditating' on the name (''[[nām]]'') of God. Sikhism is a distinct faith, whereby God can be realized purely through individual devotion, without subjection to rites and rituals by priests or other intermediaries.

According to the [[Guru Granth Sahib]], through simran, one is purified and attains [[salvation]] ([[Moksha|''mukti'']]). This is because ''si-mar'' means 'to die over', thus indicating to death of ego, allowing truth ultimate truth ([[Sat (Sanskrit)|''sat'']]) to appear.

On page 202 of the Guru Granth Sahib:

{{Verse translation|Simar simar sukh paa-i-aa|Meditating, meditating in remembrance, I have found peace}}

This hymn teaches a person who wishes to gain from this human life, one must attain a higher spiritual state by become free of attachment by realizing that all that is, is empty. Thereby, merit is acquired by devoutly repeating, comprehending and living by the sacred word every day so as to progressively reveal the divine and [[two truths|ultimate truth]] to the person who earnestly seeks it:

[[Guru Ram Das]] says in ''Sarang ki var'' (Guru Granth Sahib, 1242):

{{Quote|[[Nām]], the incorruptible is beyond our comprehending.

At the same time, it is our constant companion and preserves all creation. Therefore, truth will disclose itself unto us and lets us perceive it in our hearts. It is through earnestness that we can meet with such a truth.|}}
