The primary method to overcome the fear of worldly existence is complete surrender to the Satguru. Chapter 37 explains that when a devotee surrenders their body, speech, mind, and all five life-breaths (pranas), there is no longer any cause for worry. The text poses the question, 'when one surrenders to the Satguru, what talk is there of the fear of worldly existence?' This act of surrender places all burdens onto the Guru, who is described as the one who removes everything. This total subordination to the Guru is presented as the direct path to dissolving fear and worry, as it dismantles the ignorance that fuels them.
