Guru Arjan Dev Ji say in Sukhmani Sahib (Prayer of Peace), We eat three meals a day every day, similarly, our soul needs the food of Giaan (divine wisdom). Doing Kirtan Sohila is a way of washing the filth of the world that falls upon us during the day while engaging in worldly matters. Then, before you go to sleep, you do Kirtan Sohila (Bedtime daily Sikh Prayer) to remind yourself of the truth again. After this, you do Rehras Sahib (Evening Daily Sikh Prayer) and are brought back into what you were thinking of in the morning. Throughout the day, we become influenced by our surroundings and society. Similarly, having a bath of truth makes you strong. Having a bath first thing in the morning, makes you feel nice and clean.
As you start to progress spiritually, your soul begins to like hearing this beautiful truth that Gurbani is full of. When you read Gurbani first thing in the morning, you're having a big bath of truth.
