CORE PRINCIPLES
1. Primacy of Reality (Consciousness)
Guru Nanak realised Ik Ongkaar as the ultimate reality,Consciousness. This is the foundation of spiritual and self knowledge. This reality is identified as universal consciousness, fundamental truth (Sat) that transcends individual experiences and perceptions.
Application: In Gurmat Therapy™, this principle guides individuals to align and experience their lives of this consciousness, fostering a deep sense of connection and purpose.
2. Non-Duality Ik Ongkaar
Gurmat recognises all of existence as one interconnected whole. There is no true separation between the individual self and the universal consciousness.
Application: Gurmat Therapy™, rooted in this principle encourages experiential self inquiry practices exploring the nature of the egoic comopex (Hau, Haumai and Ahankaar) leading to recognising its nature and the realisation that individual distinctions are illusory. In Gurmat Therapy™ practices are designed to help individuals experience this oneness, reducing internal psychological and emotional conflicts and promoting inner peace (Santokh).
3. Nature of Mind (Maan Tu Jot saroop Hai, apna mul pashaan)
Understanding the mind's nature is crucial in Guru Nanak's teachings. The mind can be a source of both liberation and bondage, depending on its alignment with higher principles.
Application: Gurmat Therapy™ includes techniques for observing and understanding the mind, helping individuals gain mastery over their thoughts and emotions, leading to mental clarity and emotional stability.
4. Self-Inquiry (Khoj)
Guru Nanak teachings emphasized the importance of self-inquiry to understand one's true nature. This involves introspection and questioning one's beliefs, thoughts, and actions.
Application: In Gurmat Therapy™ self-inquiry is used as a tool for personal transformation. It encourages individuals to look within, recognise their true essence, and identify and overcome limiting beliefs.
5. Selfless Service (Seva)
Selfless service is a cornerstone of Guru Nanak's teachings. Serving others without any expectation of reward purifies the heart and mind, fostering humility and compassion.
Application: Practicing selfless service in Gurmat Therapy™ helps individuals transcend their ego-centric concerns and connect with others, promoting community well-being and personal fulfilment.
6. The Mool Mantra: Subjective Nature of Existence
The Mool Mantra, the foundational, experiential experience of ultimate reality that encapsulates the essence of existence and the ultimate truth as experienced in the eternal now. It is a declaration of the fundamental principles of the universe and the nature of the divine.
Application: Gurmat Therapy™ incorporates experential Mool Mantra through which individuals directly experience the presence and ultimate truth of existence. This experiential practice allows individuals to connect with the eternal now, fostering a deep sense of peace and presence.
7. Experiential Nature of Gurmat
Guru Nanak's teachings emphasise direct, personal experience of spiritual truths rather than mere beliefs and intellectual understanding. Spiritual growth is a journey of lived experience.
Application: Gurmat Therapy™ is deeply experiential, involving meditation, self-inquiry, and practical exercises that allow individuals to directly experience the principles of Gurmat. This experiential approach ensures that the teachings are integrated into one's life, leading to profound personal transformation.
Gurmat Therapy™ integrates these key principles into a cohesive framework designed to optimise personal and transpersonal health.
By emphasising the primacy of reality and consciousness, non-duality, the nature of the mind, self-inquiry, selfless service, the Mool Mantra as the subjective nature of existence, and the experiential nature of spiritual practice, Gurmat Therapy™ offers a revolutionary and practical holistic approach to healing and well-being.
This approach not only addresses the mental, emotional, and physiological aspects of health but also facilitates spiritual growth and the expansion of consciousness.
