Everything Set Right

ਕਾਰਜੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਸਵਾਰਿਆ ॥
kaaraj satgur aap savaari-aa.
The True Guru Himself has resolved my affairs.
ਵਡੀ ਆਰਜਾ ਹਰਿ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਕੀ ਸੂਖ ਮੰਗਲ ਕਲਿਆਣ ਬੀਚਾਰਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
vadee aarjaa har gobind kee sookh mangal kali-aan beechaari-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
He has blessed Hargobind with long life, and taken care of my comfort, happiness and well-being. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Guru has set my work right, all on his own.

Long life for Hargobind, and comfort, joy and well-being: all of it has been cared for.

The Guru himself sets our work right.
The deeper layer

The Guru himself sets the work right. Kaaraj satgur aap savaari-aa — the Guru himself resolves the affairs. In vadee aarjaa har gobind kee, Hargobind is Guru Arjan's son, and a father's blessing of long life and well-being rests upon him, a warm human touch.

A Question to Sit With

When did something you were worried about get taken care of without you having to do it all?
