Finally it was Rama’s business to make the world safe for the ideal of
the sattwic human being by destroying the sovereignty of Ravana, the
Rakshasa menace….
now—for man is no longer satisfied with the sattwic ideal and is
seeking for something more…..
Man is a transitional being, he is not final; …..
The step from man towards superman is the next approaching
achievement in the earth’s evolution.
Ravana, Hiranyakashipu, Shishupala were the greatest devotees of the
Divine because they were capable of hostility to the Divine and so were liberated in a few lives—compared with them the great Rishis and Bhaktas were very poor spiritual vessels. I am aware of the paradox about Ravana in the Purana, but let me point out that these Asuras and Rakshasas did not pretend to be disciples or worshippers of Rama or Krishna or Vishnu or use their position as disciples to get moksha by revolt —they got it by being enemies and getting killed and absorbed into the Godhead.
Hanuman stands for Bhakti.
Hanuman = complete bhakti. Hanuman is a symbol of Shakti and devotion.
