When tired, path in head?

WJKK WJKF

Is it okay to do path in your head? Is it considered a prayer if you say it in your head slowly and actually hear it in your head or is it only acceptable if you recite with mouth, be it a whisper or loud?

What does the sangat think? I often like to do path in my mind, I find it really soothing and I find it that I am able to concentrate on the bani more because I am not able to think of any other thoughts because my mind is busy reciting bani in my head.

How does everyone else feel about this?

i feel its best when all our senses are involved in doing path... looking at the gurbaanee with our eyes... speaking the beautiful words of gurbaanee with our tongue and eventually listening to the gurbaani with our ears as well.. i maybe wrong...

bhul chuk dee khima..

Isn't it exactly what is called "surtee"?...doing path in surtee is highly recommended!

There is an earlier post by Bhai Kulbir Singh Ji about doing paath in surtee, and that everyone should practise this (try to find that post!).
