In the shabad "Jo Mange," Guru Arjan sings of the Govind whose power spreads in all four directions. He feels like Govind's hand is on his head. Whoever has sincerely asked for their vices to be removed, becomes a better person. Whoever has asked for a revolution of the mind has obtained it. He feels Govind's merciful eyes keeping a watch. He feels supremely protected. It is not a fluke that Guru Arjan uses the name of Hari that for generations has been used as the protector of the meek cows: Govind. "Guru Govind protects his own," sings Guru Arjan. "The Guru of all Gurus is One," reminds Guru Nanak.
