In [[Sant Mat]], the word simran is used for the spiritual practice of repeating the [[mantra]] given by the [[Satguru]] during [[initiation]]. The mantra itself is also called Simran. Simran repetition is done during [[meditation]] and also outside it,<ref>[http://www.kirpalsingh-teachings.org/index.php/en/books-sant-kirpal-singh/jap-ji-the-message-of-guru-nanak/602-simran-what-it-means-and-its-uses.html Simran What it means and its uses], by [[Kirpal Singh]].</ref> however this mantra is later dropped in favor of real feeling of self or the God, which happens due to breaking out of monotony through Jap. Thus mantra is used only until the point, monotony and previously formed patterns are broken. After it pure Simran is carried by the sadhak. | In [[Sant Mat]], the word simran is used for the spiritual practice of repeating the [[mantra]] given by the [[Satguru]] during [[initiation]].
