Gurbani jaap during sleep

[Guest]

Many times throughout the night while sleeping or resting during the day I find myself automatically reciting bani in my mind and / or simran. What is this avastha called or has anyone experienced this?

Don't get me wrong. I am not interested in any avastha bavastha. I am at zero state and will always like to remain at zero state and always begging to Waheguru for baksheesh. However, I have been experiencing the above and wanted to relate to someone who has had similar experience could explain what is going on.

Not sure what is the question here?

- Keep up the simran, nitnem, prayers, seva
- Encourage your near and dear to go in sikh religion purely
- Spend time with sangat
- Do ardas for all brothers and sisters to keep keep their haumai in control 
- Do ardas for weak ones - farmers protestors an example.

I have no avastha but it does bring to mind the practice of lucid dreamers called state checking. They have tests they do throughout the day to see if they are in this dream or the night dream. The reason they do this all day is in our night dream we will tend to do things as frequently as we do in this dream. So when the lucid dreamer is asleep they habitually go to state check only to realize they are in the night dream. They then use that realization to gain lucidity. 

We are called to Jaap Naam and Sing Kirtan 24 hours of every day. It seems to me as that becomes a greater part of this dream it becomes a greater part of the night dream and visa versa until both dreams are full of only the praises of Akal.

It may be important to keep in your mind but simran should always be done with love primarily. So to answer your question it should be done in combination and these methods will come naturally.

ਭਾਉ ਕਲਮ ਕਰਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲੇਖਾਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਪੁਛਿ ਲਿਖੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
bhaau kalam kar chit lekhaaree gur puchh likh beechaar ||
Make the love of the Lord your pen, and let your consciousness be the scribe. Then, seek the Guru's Instructions, and record these deliberations.

But when the intellect is stained and polluted by sin,

ਓਹੁ ਧੋਪੈ ਨਾਵੈ ਕੈ ਰੰਗਿ ॥
oh dhopai naavai kai ra(n)g ||
it can only be cleansed by the Love of the Name.

Thanks for explanation. I think what you said makes absolute sense.
