Before people complain about this gurmat way of matha tekna you should try it and see the difference. Yes prem needs to be there but also the technique of surrender needs to be spot on then ONLY one can achieve gurmat mukhti.

Gurmukho firsly atma is not the mann and the atma is always nirvkalap although asanas and mudras need to be perfected to receive grace. Technically when one is performing gurmat matha tek then one's mind is absorbed in surrender just in the same way one's mind is absorbed in gurbani when read correctly.

Satguru mehar karan and teach people tat gurmat.

"The technique of surrender" can definitely differ, and it will have no effect on wether you achieve mukti or not. To say otherwise is complete nonsense, and borderline manmat. Unless there is some clear rehatnama that says otherwise, the 'technique' stated above is based on the opinions of the poster and/or the group of individuals he does sangat with. I feel it can be seen as divisive to make a blanket statement and say this is the gurmat way, making any other way manmat.

Let me add some more ways of matha tek here. I dont know which one is the perfect way(depends on individuals sharda). Our Santheya teacher explains 3 different ways of it.

1. Ashtaang Bandna ( the way Consciousness veerji explained, touching ur forehead and 8 other angs)

2. Dandaut Bandna ( laying flat before Guruji)

3. Matha Tek in Bir aasan ( As Sant Jarnail Singh Ji used to do and most of the taksali Singhs do)

Also they told that ur palms should be facing the ground, imagining as if u r touching the feet of Guru Sahib.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
