Quick Question, Need Guidance

[illi]

Daas has a very busy life and not enough time to do sukhmani sahib paath, in the day, is it okay to recite it before going to sleep followed by kirtan sohila sahib?

Buuf chuk maaf karni!

bani is bani the more you do the better . It is better to do it than skip it so I would think this is fine unless there is a special vidhi I am not aware of

[Truth5]

Read Bani and Apply it to your every day life. Do this and your blessings will unfold- u will physically realise the Truth around u.

Totally agree with truth5..just to add - Yes recitation is important to increase flow of energy- increase surti-concentration or if you are using specific viddhi to start ajaap jaap. I know stories of gurmukh who used to finish sukhmani sahib in their total 24 breath. 24 astphadi = 24 breath. This increases concentration (if you have issue with mind wandering) significantly on shabad only invoking- amrit ras since body breath is connected with mind totally. In this way, mind does not wander away- one gets peace listening sukhmani sahib.

But application of gurbani teaching or vichar of gurbani to your life supersedes everything above as slowly with mannan/nidashan on gyan of gurbani. Gurbani will start drawing you in towards itself automatically breaking your conditioning mind slowly (in adhyatam they call it- gurbani surti nuo blean kar dindi hai for bhramgyan color).

Sri guru nanak dev ji already listed sidhant of gurmat in - sunaie, manae, nidhasan pauri of japji sahib. With sunaie (listening to gurbani) in receptivity without conditioned thoughts or mind- gurbani gives sehaj dhian - spontaneously draw consciouness inward towards sat reality, with manan- application of teaching of gurbani in daily life- gurbani breaks egoic conditioned thoughts or neurotic desire of always thinking- thoughts and defining itself with it and finally transcending through nidhasan in japji sahib is for gyanis (both parkosh and aparkosh gyan) who believes, feel, finally experiences advait gurmat- one non duality reality- everything is one, all in one, one in all.
