The answer

The meaning of "I knew my Lord by the dissolution of resolve" is that a person comes to know Allah's power through His management of His creation's affairs and His control over their wills and actions. For when a servant resolves to do something, and then turns away from it, he realizes that he has a Creator who directs his affairs.
