Acharya Prashant addresses the question of what Lord Hanuman represents by first asking the audience to name the virtues he stands for. When "devotion" is mentioned, the speaker clarifies that it is not just any devotion, but specifically "devotion to Ram." He explains that devotion is a double-edged sword because everyone is devoted to something, often nonsensical things. Hanuman's virtue lies in his one-pointed devotion to Ram. Further virtues suggested by the audience include strength and obedience, which the speaker refines as "one-pointed devotion" and "absolute commitment" to Ram. He contrasts this with the commitments people usually hold, lamenting how difficult it is to convince those who are already committed to their own destructive paths. He expresses a feeling of helplessness in such situations, stating that his words feel like they are hitting a wall and coming back to him. He calls "commitment" a very dangerous word and asserts that if one is to be committed, it must be like Hanuman's—only to Ram. Hanuman's commitment means he would not be tempted by worldly offerings, such as the wealth possessed by Ravan. To illustrate this principle of choosing the right association, the speaker quotes Kabir Saheb: "Kabir says, with a saint, eat dry bread; if you get a feast with the wicked, don't go." He adds that virtues like love, devotion, strength, and commitment are interconnected and cannot exist in isolation. The speaker also delves into the symbolism of Hanuman being represented as a "vanar" (monkey). This form signifies an almost animal-like innocence, uncorrupted by social influences. He explains that while animals may not have an enlightened mind, they also lack a perverted one. This representation highlights that Hanuman is not a social being and does not adhere to societal rules, as demonstrated by his actions like destroying the Ashok Vatika or attempting to swallow the sun. The speaker concludes that without correctly deciphering this symbolism, one is merely worshipping something hollow and missing the profound meaning behind the figure of Hanuman.
