Love of Serving in the
Great Devotee Shri Hanumanji
(Hanumanji ka Sevabhaav)
The one serving has
accepted the service - by doing so, the devotee regards himself as most
grateful. Not only that, if he gets an opportunity to serve the devotees of his
Beloved Lord, then he considers that to be his great fortune. Hanumanji says to
Sankadiks -
ऐहिकेषु च कार्येषु महापत्सु च सर्वदा॥
नैव योज्यो राममन्त्रः केवलं मोक्षसाधकः ।
ऐहिके समनुप्राप्ते मां स्मरेद् रामसेवकम्
॥
यो रामं संस्मरेन्नित्यं भक्त्या मनुपरायणः
।
तस्याहमिष्टसंसिद्ध्यै दीक्षितोऽस्मि
मुनिश्वराः ॥
वाञ्छितार्थं प्रदास्यामि भक्तानां राघवस्य
तु ।
सर्वथा जागरूकोऽस्मि रामकार्यधुरंधरः ॥
(रामरहस्योपनिषद् ४/१०-१३)
For worldly work and when greatest of difficulties come in one`s way,
then too one must never use the Ram mantra. If those difficulties come in one`s
way then it is a gateway to liberation for an aspirant. If some worldly work or
difficulties arise, then remember me the servant of the Lord. I am sitting here
having taken discipleship of the Lord, for the accomplishment of the desired
goal, of the great contemplative souls, who devotedly are constantly in
remembrance of the Lord, being immersed in mantra - japa (repetition of the
Lord`s name). For the devotees of Lord Raghunathji, I will most certainly
bestow them their desired fruit. I have assumed responsibility of all the activities
of Lord Ram, and for that I am ever awake and alert.â€
Hanumanji is such and expert and so masterful in serving the Lord, that
before a thought arises in the mind of the Lord, he fulfills that task ! When
going to search for Sitaji, Hanumanji was only asked to bring the news back of
her well-being. However, along with finding Sitaji, he also investigated and
found out about the process and method in which the castles of Lanka were made.
He found out about the arrangements that had been made for the protection of
the people of Lanka. He found out how the army of Lanka was protecting its
country men, and the number of soldiers and transportation vehicles that were
there etc. etc. In Ashokvaatika when he heard the dream of Trijataakaa -
सपनें बानर लंका जारी । जातुधान सेना सब मारी ॥
(मानस ५/११/२)
Then she understood
the instructions and inspiration of Lord Hanumanji. When there were talks of
his tail being burnt, then this point was fully confirmed -
बचन सुनत कपि मन मुसकाना ।
भई सहाय सारद मैं जाना ॥
(मानस ५/२५/२)
Therefore Hanumanji completed the task of serving the Lord in Lanka !
Not only that, to make it easy for the Lord to attain victory in Lanka, along
with setting fire to Lanka, he even destroyed the weapons used in warfare. He
destroyed the bulwark, the trenches, and he killed one fourth of the mammoth
army of demons (Valmiki Yudh. 3). And further more, so that the demon
population does not increase, he roared and thundered, whereby the female
demons being terrified and in extreme fear automatically aborted their
off-springs -
चलत महाधुनि गर्जेसि भारी ।
गर्भ स्रवहिं सुनि निसिचर नारी ॥
(मानस ५/२८/१)
Because the incarnation of God has taken place for the destruction of the demons ‒‘विनाशय च दुष्कृताम्’ (गीता ४/८) Vinaashaya cha dushkrutaam†(Gita 4/8) and Hanumanji has to only do the Lord`s work ‘राम काज लगि तव अवतारा’ (मानस ४/३०/३) ।Ram kaaj lagi tava avataara (Manas 4/30/3)
