Hanumans Tip on Worshiping THE GOD
WHEN HANUMAN WENT to Lanka in search of Sita,
he met Vibhishana there who was also a devotee of Rama.
Expressing his anguish to Hanuman, Vibhishana said to him, “Dear
Hanuman! You are very fortunate that you are doing the work of Rama while
chanting His name and thereby you are recipient of His grace. I am also
reciting the name of Rama since a long time but I have not been able to
have His Darshan so far.” Hearing this, Hanuman said to Vibhishana, “You
have been reciting the name of Rama. But, have you ever done something
for Rama? How can you receive the grace of Rama without doing any work for Him? Mother
Sita is there in Lanka for the last ten months. Did you ever say anything to her which could
make her calm and peaceful? Did you go even once to have her Darshan? Did you think of
any way to relieve her suffering? Performance of any of these tasks would amount to service
of Rama. But you have done nothing of this sort. Isn’t it so? Then, how can you receive
the grace of Rama? I am leading my life in the service of Rama while chanting His name all
the time.”
Mere chanting of Mantras or reciting God’s name is of little benefi t. One should do God’s
work. That is why Swami always says: Dil Mein Ram, Hath Mein Kaam.
