How do I stop worrying about everything?

Question

Accepted Answer

“O Nanak, don't be anxious; the Lord will take care of you.” (Guru Nanak, Ang 955) “Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, a lasting peace is obtained; so remain lovingly focused on the Naam.” (Guru Amardas, Ang 246) “Kabeer, you shall drown, you wretched being, from worrying about what other people think.” (Bhagat Kabir, Ang 1373) “The One who gave you life shall also provide you with nourishment.” (Sheikh Farid, Ang 794) These lines approach worry through trust, attention, and freedom from social pressure. Guru Nanak in Raag Raamkalee on Ang 955 shifts the burden of anxious control toward trust in the One who cares for life. Guru Amardas in Raag Gauree on Ang 246 gives a practical focus: meditate on Naam and remain lovingly absorbed in it, through which lasting peace is found. Bhagat Kabir on Ang 1373 identifies another source of anxiety—being consumed by what other people think—and warns that such concern can overwhelm a person. Sheikh Farid in Raag Soohee on Ang 794 addresses fear about necessities by recalling that the One who gave life also provides nourishment. Together, they do not present worry as something defeated by controlling every outcome; they redirect the mind toward Naam, trust in divine care, and release from dependence on others’ opinions.
