When Hanumanji was building the bridge from Rameswaram Setubandha to Sri Lanka, he was tearing off the tops of mountains, which were thousands of tonnes in weight. But Hanumanji was very strong, he would just rip it off and carry it and make it float in the ocean. While he was doing that, there was a little spider. Now what is the difference between the limb of a spider and Hanuman? All the spider could do was kick one grain of sand at a time to try to assist in this bridge building and Hanuman was carrying massive, massive mountain peaks and he told the spider, “Get out of my way” as it was on his path and Rama chastised Hanuman. He said, “This spider is doing everything within his power in My mission and you are doing everything within your power. I see no difference between the two of you. I do not see what you do. I see your purpose, your intent.” Therefore in spiritual life, higher or lower is not how much you can accomplish; higher or lower is the purity of our motivation, the spirit of our compassion and love. That is what Krishna sees from within our hearts. In this way, the path of bhakti is equally open for everyone and anyone without discrimination. It is our natural, spiritual inheritance to love God. Experience the unlimited pleasure of that love and express that in everything we do. H. H. Radhanath Swami Maharaj
