Hanumaan, charged with the mission of discovering the place where Raavana
had confined Seetha, decided that he should take a leap over the sea towards
Lanka to search for her in that island of Raam that he carried in his heart and
on his tongue.
A mountain immersed at the bottom of the sea felt a strong urge to do him
some little service, for, he was the instrument of God, and engaged in an
exhausting adventure! Its name was Mynaaka. It rose above the waters and called
upon Hanumaan to rest awhile on its crest, and refresh himself with the fruits
upon the trees that grew thereon.
Hanumaan declined to delay his landing in Lanka; he was engaged in a
divine mission, which brooked no rest, no dallying. He turned a deaf ear to the
importunities of Mynaaka, and sped forward to fulfil the command of the Lord.
Ponder over this incident:
Consider the compassion and the eagerness to serve which the 'inert'
massive mountain felt! Consider the steadfastness, the undeviating faith, the
single-pointed loyalty of the monkey, Hanumaan! They teach invaluable lessons
to man - lessons of heart that melts at suffering, a head that refuses to
swerve from the path of duty,
