Seeing Sitaa maataa, Hanumaanji stood up.
With smiling face, the great queen asked: ―Why Maaruti! Are you well?‖
―Yes mother. I am enjoying very much serving Bhagwaan‖, saying thus Hanumaanji
bowed.
The daughter of Janak pacing slowly reached Bhagwaan and seated by him. She greatly
enjoyed talking to Pavankumaar. She said: ―O Maaruti, if continually keep serving the
Lord, he will become too dependent He will not be capable of doing anything himself.‖
Hearing tis, Hanumaanji raised his head and said: ―Mother, what need is there for the
Lord to do anything himself. Why should he take any effort to do anything? I am here to
do it.‖
Observing the guileless behaviour the great queen smiled. And then said: ―You are right.
But is the use of presence 24 hours per day by Bhagwaan? You should leave him alone
for a time. He will not have any difficulty with that.‖
But being Maaruti, he said: ―No Mother, say no such thing. I am used to being with
Bhagwaan all the time. Suppose I have gone elsewhere and the Great Lord suddenly has a
need for me, what then?‖
Sitaaji said: ―But suppose someone had to discuss matter of major importance with the
Lord, what then?‖
Hanumaanji said: ―What then? Whoever wants to do so can gladly do it. I am not saying
no to it.‖
―You would not say no, but if it was a secret personal issue, what then?‖ , asked Sitaaji
with emphasis on ―secret personal‖.
Hanumaanji was puzzled with the ―secret personal‖. He thought ―What is this secret
personal? What issue would there be to be kept secret from me? And how would
Bhagwaan hear such secret without my presence?‖
When the devotee has attained oneness with Bhagwaan, then he believes his heart is same
as the heart of the Lord. His eyes are those of the Lord.His hands, feet, ears are the hands,
feet ears of the Lord. And when that is the case, then how can Bhagwaan put into action
anything without the devotee? And how would Bhagwaan keep anything secret from the
devotee?
But Mother Sitaa wanted to have fun with Maaruti. She wanted to remove him from the
Lord for a little while. And then she wanted to observe. And so keeping a serious face
without paying attention to Hanumaanji‘s confusion, she said: ―Does it make sense
Anjani‘s prince? If someone comes to talk to your Bhagwaan, then you should cultivate
habit of removing yourself from him for that time. Look, I have came here for some
urgent work. And I need to talk to the great Lord. And if there is a third party present
then I cannot talk freely. So for that time please sit outside, such that no one can enter.‖
Maaruti did not like the behaviour of the great Queen. He loked at the Lord‘s face. But
the Lord moved towards Sitaaji and said: ―There is no problem Pavan kumar. Just stroll
outside for a while. Meantime I will quickly run through the issues with the great Queen,
and will then call you in.‖
Now there was no choice but to go outside. With confused mind, Hanumaanji began to
walk towards the door. But reaching the door step, he stood and asked: ―But Lord…‖
Smiling, Raamchandraji said: ―What is it, pray tell me?‖
