namjap ji no comment on your one "tuk" quote. I have tried to help with a translation of the whole shabad below,

Quote:
Note: my translation of Professor Sahib Singh ji's Darpan in this color.

ਟੋਡੀ ਮਹਲਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਮਨਿ ਧਿਆਉ ਕਾਢਿ ਕੁਠਾਰੁ ਪਿਤ ਬਾਤ ਹੰਤਾ ਅਉਖਧੁ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਨਾਉ ੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ
टोडी महला ५ ॥ हरि के चरन कमल मनि धिआउ ॥ काढि कुठारु पित बात हंता अउखधु हरि को नाउ ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
Todī mėhlā 5. Har ke cẖaran kamal man ḏẖi▫ā▫o. Kādẖ kuṯẖār piṯ bāṯ hanṯā a▫ukẖaḏẖ har ko nā▫o. ||1|| rahā▫o.
Todee, Fifth Mehl: Meditate on the lotus feet of the Lord within your mind. The Name of the Lord is the medicine; it is like an axe, which destroys the diseases caused by anger and egotism. ||1||Pause||
ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ = ਕੌਲ ਫੁੱਲਵਰਗੇ ਕੋਮਲ ਚਰਨ। ਮਨਿ = ਮਨ ਵਿਚ। ਧਿਆਉ = ਧਿਆਉਂ, ਮੈਂ ਧਿਆਨ ਧਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਕਾਢਿ = ਕੱਢਕੇ। ਕੁਠਾਰੁ = ਕੁਹਾੜਾ। ਪਿਤ = ਪਿੱਤ, ਗਰਮੀ, (ਕ੍ਰੋਧ)। ਬਾਤ = ਵਾਈ (ਅਹੰਕਾਰ)।ਅਉਖਧੁ = ਦਵਾਈ। ਕੋ = ਦਾ।੧।ਰਹਾਉ।

ਹੇਭਾਈ! ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦੇ ਕੋਮਲ ਚਰਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਧਿਆਨ ਧਰਦਾ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ।ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ (ਇਕ ਐਸੀ) ਦਵਾਈ ਹੈ ਜੇਹੜੀ (ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰੋਂ) ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਅਤੇਅਹੰਕਾਰ (ਆਦਿਕ ਰੋਗ) ਪੂਰੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਕੱਢ ਦੇਂਦੀ ਹੈ (ਜਿਵੇਂ ਦਵਾਈ ਸਰੀਰ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਗਰਮੀਤੇ ਵਾਈ ਦੇ ਰੋਗ ਦੂਰ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ)।੧।ਰਹਾਉ।
Quote:
Thinking humbly at the creator’s supple feet, works like medicine to cut down anger and ego.


ਤੀਨੇ ਤਾਪ ਨਿਵਾਰਣਹਾਰਾ ਦੁਖ ਹੰਤਾ ਸੁਖ ਰਾਸਿ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਬਿਘਨੁ ਕੋਊ ਲਾਗੈ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਆਗੈ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ੧॥
तीने ताप निवारणहारा दुख हंता सुख रासि ॥ ता कउ बिघनु न कोऊ लागै जा की प्रभ आगै अरदासि ॥१॥
Ŧīne ṯāp nivāraṇhārā ḏukẖ hanṯā sukẖ rās. Ŧā ka▫o bigẖan na ko▫ū lāgai jā kī parabẖ āgai arḏās. ||1||
The Lord is the One who removes the three fevers; He is the Destroyer of pain, the warehouse of peace. No obstacles block the path of one who prays before God. ||1||
ਤੀਨੇ ਤਾਪ = ਆਧਿ, ਵਿਆਧਿ, ਉਪਾਧਿ (ਮਾਨਸਕ ਰੋਗ, ਸਰੀਰਕ ਰੋਗ, ਝਗੜੇ ਆਦਿਕ)। ਰਾਸਿ = ਪੂੰਜੀ। ਤਾ ਕਉ = ਉਸ (ਮਨੁੱਖ) ਨੂੰ। ਬਿਘਨੁ = ਰੁਕਾਵਟ।੧।

ਹੇਭਾਈ! ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ (ਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰੋਂ ਆਧਿ ਵਿਆਧਿ ਉਪਾਧਿ) ਤਿੰਨੇ ਹੀ ਤਾਪ ਦੂਰਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈ, ਸਾਰੇ ਦੁੱਖਾਂ ਦਾ ਨਾਸ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਸੁਖਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਰਮਾਇਆ ਹੈ। ਜਿਸਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੀ ਅਰਦਾਸ ਸਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੇ ਦਰ ਤੇ ਜਾਰੀ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਦੇ ਜੀਵਨ ਦੇ ਰਸਤੇਵਿਚ ਕੋਈ ਰੁਕਾਵਟ ਨਹੀ ਆਉਂਦੀ।੧।

Seeking salvation from the creator, the mental, physical and social ailments are easily addressed without impediment.





ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਬੈਦ ਨਾਰਾਇਣ ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਏਕ ਬਾਲ ਬੁਧਿ ਪੂਰਨ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਟੇਕ ੨॥੮॥੧੩॥
संत प्रसादि बैद नाराइण करण कारण प्रभ एक ॥ बाल बुधि पूरन सुखदाता नानक हरि हरि टेक ॥२॥८॥१३॥
Sanṯ parsāḏ baiḏ nārā▫iṇ karaṇ kāraṇ parabẖ ek. Bāl buḏẖ pūran sukẖ▫ḏāṯa Nānak har har tek. ||2||8||13||
By the Grace of the Saints, the Lord has become my physician; God alone is the Doer, the Cause of causes. He is the Giver of perfect peace to the innocent-minded people; O Nanak, the Lord, Har, Har, is my support. ||2||8||13||
ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ = ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਲ। ਬੈਦ = ਹਕੀਮ। ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ = ਜਗਤ ਦਾ ਮੂਲ। ਬਾਲ ਬੁਧਿ = ਬਾਲਕਾਂ ਵਾਲੀ ਸਰਲਬੁਧਿ ਵਾਲੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ, ਜੇਹੜੇ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ਛੱਡ ਦੇਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਟੇਕ = ਆਸਰਾ।੨।

ਹੇਭਾਈ! ਇਕ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਹੀ ਜਗਤ ਦਾ ਮੂਲ ਹੈ, (ਜੀਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਰੋਗ ਦੂਰ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ) ਹਕੀਮ ਹੈ।ਇਹ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਲ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਜੇਹੜੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਆਪਣੇ ਅੰਦਰੋਂਚਤੁਰਾਈ ਦੂਰ ਕਰ ਦੇਂਦੇ ਹਨ, ਸਾਰੇ ਸੁਖ ਦੇਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮਿਲ ਪੈਂਦਾਹੈ, ਉਹਨਾਂ (ਦੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ) ਦਾ ਸਹਾਰਾ ਬਣ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।੨।੮।੧੩।

The supreme soul is the foundation for all as if a universal Doctor and is met through grace. The people thinking pure as a if like a child, understand the supreme soul and find solace.
I do believe that it is very dangerous to look for a single word, leading to a single "tuk", leading to a single shabad as a way of learning resolution of issues say like "Anxiety". This has been stated many times at SPN.

Word searches are only a beginning of study and not a one-to-one mapping of ailments and their cures.

  • If you search the word "Anxiety" at srigranth.org you get 4 pages of references to shabads
    • Hence a much further study is needed
  • This does not take away from the fact that each shabad studied is in itself of great value but the context of total Gurbani should not be lost
As we all know, anxiety can generally be related to the fear of the unknown outcomes or situations. If one drives towards the present and lives in the present faithfully to the moment, the future takes care of itself and one should find greater peace in living.

Sat Sri Akal.

Re: How Can One Overcome the Anxieties of This World

To overcome tensions and anxiety, the best solution is no doubt the "Meditation" so try that. Meditation is nothing but a control of mind. if you can control your mind then you wont be tensed or irritated. Deletion, spnadmin

One thing more that I must mention here. Don't be in complexities. Meditation do nothing but for a while it takes your mind away from the tensions. This can be done even by your friend's company i.e. you laugh with them and forget all the worries. Hence you get relaxed and refresh
