Pulled From the Pit, You Can Stop Managing

ਨਿਰਭਉ ਭਏ ਸਗਲ ਭਉ ਮਿਟਿਆ ਰਾਖੇ ਰਾਖਨਹਾਰੇ ॥
nirbha-o bha-ay sagal bha-o miti-aa raakhay raakhanhaaray.
I have become fearless, and all my fears have been erased. The Savior Lord has saved me.
ਐਸੀ ਦਾਤਿ ਤੇਰੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ਕਾਰਜ ਸਗਲ ਸਵਾਰੇ ॥੩॥
aisee daat tayree parabh mayray kaaraj sagal savaaray. ||3||
Such is Your generosity, O my God, that You have resolved all my affairs. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I have become fearless, and all my fears are erased; the Savior has saved me.

Such is Your generosity, God, that You have settled all my affairs.

Pulled from the pit, you can stop managing everything — the One has settled it.
The deeper layer

The fruit of rescue is fearlessness: "I have become fearless, and all my fears have been erased." And a deep relief: "You have resolved all my affairs." The soul pulled from the pit no longer has to manage everything itself — the One has "settled" it (cf. Shabad 96).

A Question to Sit With

What 'affairs' might you be able to stop anxiously managing, trusting they're held?
