the way it comes. Else conclude destruction. Raavan‘s destruction was due to his pride of
his strength.
Appreciation of service and its return:
The crownig to the throne of Raam was conducted great pomp and show. Dresses,
presents given and everywhere there was happiness. Appreciating Hanumaan‘s service,
Jaankiji gave him her necklace of pearls. Having accepted the gift, but being a monkey he
conducted himself somewhat like an ape. H tested each pearl trying to break them with
his teeth. Sitaaji and the courtiers were surprised. All thought that despite serving the
Lord, why was Hanumaan not spared his monkey behaviour?just as the Kaalmindh stone
despite staying in water hundred years still does not desolve, does the human heart not
convert after company of virtuous beings?
Raam observing the countenance of the courtiers realised that they were notpleased by
the action of Hanumaan. The considered Hanumaan intellectually incompetent, the matter
needed to settled. Raam commandedHanumaan to reconcile the minds of the people.
Following Ram‘s command, Maaruti said I do not see Ram in the pearls. What is the
useof things which do not have Raam? To my mind Raam is everything. You will then
question is Raam in my body? Why have you kept your body? To answer that, look
whether Raam resides in my chest. Saying thus he tore open his chest with his bare hands
to reveal Raam to all. And he further said, ―By body consciousness I am Raam‘s servant.
As a being I am part of Raam. As aatmaa, I am myself Raam. In my vision, there is
nothing but Raam.
Everyone praised Maaruti, the tri-personification of karma-yog (actions), bhakti-yog
(devotion) and Gnaan-yog (intellect) and considered themselves very fortunate..
The article has expanded like the long night of autumn, but even so the pen declares more
thoughts to propel. So to conclude, we will demonstrate the essence of Bajarang‘s life for
the modern society.
Maaruti never took aid from anyone, but instead he served. In modern society, it is the
reverse. Instead of serving, it is considered more appropriate to be served, and also claim
they are serving. To take service from someone, consider it a sin. Become proficient and
self sufficient. Body strength is an attire, but if will power is absent and tendency of
violence prevails, then it becomes a vice. So promote will power. The one who does not
become a servant, he can never become a master. Maaruti becoming servant has become
the master of millions of hearts. In the zeal of serving – start from serving in the home –
without passing that examination, do not enter the wider field of worldly service. Because
the first lesson of serving begins with the parents. Service should not be imparted in
exchange of wealth, respect or greed. Because such service will not bring peace.
Wherever we are in the present, that is where service should begin. And that service
reaches God. Because all being are the Lord‘s form. Invalid, poor, helpless – get their
grace. Do not seek to gain from improper means. Do not extort belongings of others.
Steal not the anvil to donate a needle. Do not cultivate attitude of proclaming to be a great
servant. In reality to serve is a misunderstanding. Whatever we do, we do so for the peace
of our ownselves. We do it for our good., because all beings are own form – they are our
aatmaa. To keep this sermon to remain permanent, keep in mind the great servant Maaruti
and his life, to get the best out of human life – my humble request. Iti – Shivam
