••• हनुमान - Hanumān, the great monkey God of the Ramayana is a symbol of the mind that has become disciplined and filled with devotion. Hanuman is the evolved state of our unruly monkey mind that constantly jumps from thought to thought. This mind is fully focused on the presence of the Divine Self, the Lord of Life within the heart. When Rama asks Hanuman, "How do you look upon me?" The great monkey gives a three-part answer, "When I believe I am the body, then I am your faithful servant. When I know I am the soul, I know myself to be a spark of your eternal Light. And when I have the vision of truth, you and I, my Lord, are one and the same." ••• Source: "Hanuman and the evolution of faith" by Ramgiri Braun, posted on April 20, 2015 (@babaramdass @heart.sourcing) Url: http://www.ramdass.org/hanuman-and-the-evolution-of-faith/ Music: Shri Krishna Das (@krishnadasmusic) Artwork: Shri Mahaveer Swami (@artistmahaveerswami) 🙏🙏🙏 PS: DM for query on #originalart and #fineartprints of #hanuman, an ardent #devotee of #lordrama. 🙏🙏🙏 #mythology #indianmythology (at Mahaveer Swami Shilpshala) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1LLLkSRRq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
