Today in the Kali Yuga, there are any number of persons chanting Rama’s name, Nama Japa (chanting the name) is not enough. Whatever name you recite, you must also be active in the service of the Form associated with the name. What is implied by the term, Ramakarya (service to Rama)? Rama is immanent in the entire cosmos. Rama is present everywhere.. Hence, you have to take part in social service.

Rendering service to one’s fellow beings, rendering help to the helpless and performing sacred acts of dedicated service, one becomes eligible for Shri Rama’s grace.

Although Hanuman was highly intelligent, in matters relating to the Divine, he made no distinction between good and bad. He carried out implicitly whatever he was ordered to do. He did not care to enquire whether it was right or wrong. Why? Because he regarded whatever Rama said as Veda Vakya (Gospel truth). God’s word is beyond question.

Hanuman felt that he was not competent to sit in judgement on the Lord’s words. ‘My duty is to carry out whatever Rama says, ‘Karthavyam Yogam Uchyathe’ (Duty is Yoga), says Gita. What is this yoga? ‘Yogah Karmasu Kaushalam’ says Gita. Yoga is excellence in performance of duty. Hence you should embark on all actions in accordance with the Divine injunctions. Then alone you experience all kinds of knowledge. (SSS Vol.28, pp. 277-278)
