Hanumanji`s absorption in separation was exceptional. In both worldly and spiritual world, no person wants separation from his Beloved. However, to do the Lord`s work, or for uninterrupted
remembrance, or for hearing His divine play and qualities, Hanumanji requests a boon of absorption in separation from the Lord -
remembrance, or for hearing His divine play and qualities, Hanumanji requests a boon of absorption in separation from the Lord -
यावद् रामकथा वीर चरिष्यति महीतले ।
तावच्छरीरे वत्स्यन्तु प्राणा मम न संशयः ॥
(वाल्मीकि॰ उत्तर॰४०/१७)
The brave
Shri Ram ! as long as the divine tales of the Lord are prevalent on this earth, till then without doubt may my life breath remain
in this body. A lover also does not want separation from his beloved. However when Lord Shri Ram was leaving to return to His abode, at that time, he instructs Hanumanji to stay back on earth for the aid and protection of the devotees. This is also an exceptional point ! God says -
जीविते कृतबुद्धिस्त्वं मा प्रतिज्ञां वृथा कृथाः ।
मत्कथाः प्रचरिष्यन्ति यावल्लोके हरिश्वर ॥
तावद् रमस्व सुप्रीतो मद्वाक्यमनुपालयन् ।
एवमुक्तस्तु हनुमान् राघवेण महात्मना ॥
वाक्यं विज्ञापयामास परं हर्षमवाप च ।
(वाल्मीकि॰उत्तर॰ १०८/३३-३५)
``O Lord!
You have made a decision to live a long time. Do not let your pledge go to
waste. As long as in this world My divine tales are being told, till then you
too, following my instructions, remain joyfully on earth. When great Shri
Raghunathji said so, Hanumanji was very pleased and said the following’`
यावत् तव कथा लोके विचरिष्यति पावनी ॥
तावत् स्थास्यामि मेदिन्यां तवाज्ञामनुपलयन् ।
(वाल्मीकि॰ उत्तर॰ १०८/३५-३६)
Therefore it is said about Hanumanji ‘राम चरित सुनिबे को रसिया ।’
One time Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughna -all the three brothers, met with Mother Sita and thought that Hanumanji, does not give us an opportunity to serve Ramji. He seems to do all the service entirely by himself. Henceforth only we will serve Ramji entirely. We will leave no work for Hanumanji. Thinking so, they distributed the work among themselves. When Hanumanji came to serve, then he was stopped,, and told that we have now distributed the work amongst ourselves, there is no work left for you. Hanumanji saw that when the Lord yawns, no one was snapping their fingers, therefore he took on that service in his hands. This service had not come to
anyone`s mind! Hanumanji had great perseverance in serving the Lord`s. He who perseveres, he gets some service or the other. Now, all day Hanumanji sat in front of Ramji, and kept looking towards His face; because, there was no telling when Ramji would yawn? When it was nightfall, then Hanumanji kept sitting in front of Ramji. Bharat and all the other brothers said to Hanumanji, that you cannot continue to sit here like this all night. Now you please leave.Hanumanji said, how am I to leave? At night unknowingly if the Lord yawns, then how am I to know if I leave!
