When Valmiki completed his Ramayana, Narada wasn't impressed.

'It is good, but Hanuman's is

better',he said.
'That monkey has written the Ramayana too!' Valmiki didn't like this at all, and wondered whose
Ramayana was better. So he set out to find Hanuman.
In Kadali-vana, grove of plantains, he found Ramayana inscribed on seven broad leaves of a banana
tree.
He read it and found it to be perfect. The most exquisite choice of grammer and vocabulary, metre
and melody.He couldn't help himself.He started to cry.
'Is it so bad?' asked Hanuman
'No, it is so good', said Valmiki
'Then why are you crying?' asked Hanuman
'Because after reading your Ramayana no one will read my Ramayana,' replied Valmiki
Hearing this Hanuman simply tore up the seven banana leaves stating ' Now no one will ever read
Hanuman's Ramayana.'
Hanuman said, 'You need your Ramayana more than I need mine.You wrote your Ramayana so that
the world remembers Valmiki; I wrote my Ramayana so that I remember Ram.'
At that moment he realized how he had been consumed by the desire for validation through his
work.He had not used the work to liberate himself from the fear of invalidation.He had not
appreciated the essence of Ram's tale to unknot his mind. His Ramayana was a product of ambition;
Hanuman's Ramayana was a product of affection. That's why Hanuman's Ramayana sounded so
much better. Valmiki realized that greater than Ram is the idea of Ram ( ).
This story tell us that there are people like Hanuman who don't want to be famous.They do stuff just
to fulfill some purpose. So people like Valmiki, don't think your
'' Ramayana" is the best. There are many unsung "Hanuman" in the world.
Who am I then ?
Does my life go the way I (big I) design?
or karmas lead my life?
Is that my goal is to be unsung hanuman or Valmiki?
If there is no Valmiki, who will know about know about the unsung Hanuman?
if everyone wish to be unsung heroes, or

no Hanuman at all...
No Ramayana to write for Valmiki.
and if no Valmik, i no Ramayana for us at all to read, learn and lead a positive life.
Everything and everyone maybe in this creation has a reason. All are
above comparisons and judgements.
Maybe that is the goal of life's realisation and Enlightenment!
Today HANUMA JAYANTHI.
