Nara Vyagraha Ekam Pati Vratam Maryada Purushottam Raam and Buddhimatam Varishtam Bajra Anga Bali!
Though it is known that Sri Raam is an avatar and went through a life of suffering (at least as seen from external situations and drama around), he was called maryada Purushottam not in sense that Maryada = Morality, you can teach Morality to people, you cannot teach maryada,it rises from the deepest core of your being.
How does one respond authentically in a situation of great turmoil, come out with the greatest of intelligence and stand up, holding the need of situation, holding the maryada of the situation with utmost care and love.
Whether it is breaking the Bow of Shiva, killing countless Asuras, leaving the throne and walking into the forest, witnessing his father die from a distance, witnessing his wife being kidnapped by Ravana, handling the turmoil of separation from Sita, The killing of Vali from behind, slaying great beings like Kumbhakarna, killing Ravana-The greatest devotee of Shiva, abandoning Sita, not being there when his sons are born, giving death sentence to Lakshmana, how can one even imagine how he held the Maryada of each situation with such huge external turmoil and conflict and rise above and say no, "This is not optimum, I am going to not give into the pressure no matter what, This is what the situation needs, I am going to follow what I feel is the need" and when it comes to establishing Raam Rajya and performing Ashwamedha, he comes across a situation where he is about to kill his own sons, his own progeny and Hanuman who has never stepped in the decision of Raam says " Bhagwaan,no, this is not optimum, please wait, re consider your choice, The maryada of the situation is not being met" and Raam reconsiders it and decides okay, now is the time to leave, The limitations of the body and what is happening around, I have to leave.
That someone had to come in, in the last moment and tell Maryada Purushottam Raam to reconsider, oh what a privilege it must be to witness this great moment, and both Raam and Hanuman having the humility and respect for each other's words and actions, The Bhakta and the Bhagavan being at ease at as situation of such great and immense conflict. How lucky would Luv-Kush be,to witness this love between Raam and Hanuman, between the Bhakta and the Bhagwaan, it can only bring me to silence to even comprehend what it might it be like!
And then just contemplating the Ease with which Hanuman handled every situation, Lanka Dhan, killing countless Asura, getting Sanjeevni booti, Rescuing Raam and Lakshman, Telling Ravana you are full moon and Raam is New moon, helping vibhsheshana, hanuman held the maryada of each situation with such an ease, with such inner poise, Of course when he was a child he didn't have the necessary understanding and discipline he was about to swallow the sun in childhood and hence was cursed to lose all the conscious memory of the Vidya until he is capable enough to use it optimally. and then when he recognises his own strength, his wisdom, his mastery over the situation, his perfection in action, his ability to bring in Harmony in the most dis-harmonious situation.
It doesn't matter he gives the mantle to Sri Raam, he doesn't want a label or wants to stand on the stage, he sits near the feet of his master, he surrenders to Sri Ram, Maryada Purushottam is always his Swami, not me, not me, not me, only the Divine, only the Divine!
Yet there's a gap again, it was Sri Ram who helped Hanuman to hold the maryada of situation when Hanuman had tied up Makaradhwaja in Patala Loka and this time it was just Hanuman reminding Raam of the decision which Raam knew already, Raam knew what has to be done, he seemed to forgotten it for a moment, unlike Hanuman he didn't even know Luv-Kush were his sons, yet he knows that establishing Raam - Rajya is more important and he was willing to kill 2 children born from him in order to establish Raam Rajya. Hanuman just reminds, Swami you are right but maybe the world is not ready for it , it still needs time, you should drop it now, some other time, let us wait , Raam knew it, maybe it was just to balance out the 2 great beings, the love they had for each other, again love is a label, how does one put it in words?
The balance which you cannot understand from mental dissection , from words, only if you can experience it in the deeper part of the being in silence of the heart. Hanuman has it always he tears up his chest and says look the Divine is established in my being, राम लक्ष्मण जानकी , He says look not to show it to the world to brag, but to simply be there and say as living presence, reality that it is possible, he has achieved it, so can you.
Hold it, hold the ideal a thousand times and if you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more.
If not this lifetime a hundred lifetimes how does it matter as long as you know it is the will of the Divine!
But never to step back from your personal effort, ego is there, so personal effort is there and it is needed always.
Don't miss the avasaram.
Don't miss it, it is Jai Sri Rama, Sri is Sita the Divine feminine, Rama the Divine Masculine.
जय श्री राम।
Raam Doota Hanuman, The carrier of the message of the Divine, The willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness, The wiling servitor of the Divine Nature!
दुनिया चले ना श्री राम के बिना।
राम जी चले ना हनुमान के बिना।
I bow down to the eternal being-चिरंजीव
बजरंग बलि
If I ever would be able to back my रृण to him!
सिया वर रामचंद्र की जय।
