Hanuman states very clearly that his greatness was due to his constant effort and not due to his inborn character, that of an ordinary monkey.
Brahmajñāna ~ ब्रह्मज्ञान is possible for all.
Mokṣā ~ मोक्ष, “liberation,” is everybody’s birthright.
In his case, Hanuman declares that his entire spiritual development was attained by single-pointed devotion to god.
He who constantly thinks of the Supreme becomes Supreme.
Absolute Surrender to god is the secret of Spiritual Perfection. Spiritual Transformation cannot be brought about by the mere chanting of mantras or offerings in temples & other rituals(not negating it's importance though).
It is also not something that can be inherited.
An infant, whether begotten by god or man, is still an animal. Evolution only aids its physical growth.
demons, Who stands with folded palms, In all the places where the glories of Sri Rama are sung, Shedding tears of devotion and joy."
Spiritual growth is impossible without effort. Learning and discipline must be present if one is to reach this higher form of evolution.
An imperfect body is made perfect when it is made into an instrument of god ;Then even our shortcomings will turn into advantages.
When the entire personality is molded into the Supreme, even Shortcomings become Helpful.
So we find that it was his monkey nature that helped him
to cross the ocean, reach Lanka, discover Mātā Śītā, & bring the message back to Śrī Rāma.
He had no private enjoyments, The good results of his actions always went to other people.
Thus, Valmiki portrayed a remarkable character in Hanuman, a model for all those who aspire towards Liberation.
ॐ महावीराय नमः।🙏
