Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru JI KI fateh.

Veer balbir Singh Jio,

imho it is not a question of...."offering his body and mind..AFTER the head has been cut off...

Guru Ji is simply declaring that..OH My parmeshar, I Offer YOU my HEAD, MY BODY, MY MIND... ALL I have is YOURS...nothing is mine.

This is the Central Theme of every Sikh's Maksad...of Going to the GURDWARA and OFFERING his/Her HEAD..MATHA TEKNNA.

This "act" of matha teknna means that OH My GURU JI, Hre I am Offering MY HEAD ( meaning MY MIND) MY MATT...at your Lotus Feet and Will You PLEASE give me YOUR MATT...GURMATT in return.... ( its a different matter that most sikhs ahve made thsi great act of sacrifice a mere "action..a ritual..." and thats why we have Sikhs "mattah tekking" at ten or twenty different places in the Gurdwara..first at the Nishan Sahib, then at the Bottom of the Steps, then at the Jorra Ghar, then at the Dehleez of darbar sahib, then before the Praksh Guru Ji, then at the door of the "Sachkhand room" where the Guru sroops are Sukhasan...etc etc. We Have ONLY ONE HEAD/ONE MATT...and can ONLY give it away ONCE..but in actual fact we dont do it even once because we go back with our own head/mind/matt and leave the Gurmatt behind in the Gurudwara. Guru ji uses the word "CUT"..as it should be..a "cut" head is not so easy to REJOIN ?? thats how we should treat Matha Tekking..."CUT" our head and offer it to Guru Ji !! We need not do it Physically but should do it Mentally !! which we dont.

What GURU JI sri Nanak ji Sahib mentioned here in His First jamma...GURU ji Guru Gobind Singh Ji in his Tenth jamma showed in PRACTISE at vasakhi 1699 when He DEMANDED and RECEIVED FIVE PHYSICAL HEADS. IF need be the SIKH can "physically CUT off " his head for HIS GURU.

We also say quite as a matter of fact.... Tan mann naal sewa....meaning our Tann and Mann belong to the GURU.

Thank You.

Love towards all

Jarnail Singh
