From
childhood only Hanumanji was different than all others of his kind. He was
curious and full of questions about the evolution of world, the nature of mind,
the true Self and the real God. He used to ask all such kind of questions to
his mother all the time – Mother, please tell me where did I come from, what
will happen to me after death, how did this world come into being, if there is
God why can’t I see it … and on and on ?
Tired
of his questions, his mother used to send him to holy Saints who lived in the
forest and who used to perform Saadhna towards realizing the true goal of life.
Hanumanji used to go to their ashrams and used to pay due respect at the feet
of holy Saints. Then he used to serve them selflessly as per their instructions
for days, weeks and months. Then, with their permissions he used to ask his
deep spiritual questions. The Saints used to answer his questions up to certain
extent and then after a while, Hanumanji’s questions used to confuse them as
well. The moment Hunumanji used to see a blank face, he used tell them, “Dear
Sir, the Saints are supposed to answer all the questions of the common man. If the
Saints fail to pacify the spiritual inquiries of a Saadhak, then who else will
help them?” After that Hanumanji used to tie the Saints to the tree and then
leave.
