The Humility of Hanuman: Praying for God's Help

So we said there's no guarantee of when it will happen, but there's almost a guarantee of when it will not happen. Almost a guarantee. Why I said almost is because in God's grace everything is possible actually, but almost a guarantee it will not happen if... what do you know? Yeah, so if the lane... the lane is very narrow, huh? There is space only for one: either God or me. When there is me, there cannot be God. When there is God, there cannot be me. So if we are doing our spirituality also for me, and God is for me instead of me being for God, then that becomes the obstacle.

Especially when we are using things like the inquiry, because many times I've noticed that in the inquiry, when people are inquiring, they're sitting on a 'me' and then saying 'Who am I?' Like the 'me' bhava is too strong. And the inquiry itself will help to dissolve that in some way, but that can seem like a very tedious, difficult process. So it's very important to let go first. Empty yourself, is it? Empty yourself, and from that empty bhava, empty place, then ask 'Who am I?' You can see the difference. Like when somebody's talking with the 'me' like that, like 'Who am I?' Or with the humility of Hanuman Ji: 'Who am I? Who am I?'

And ask for... before you start your practice, ask for God's help. Pray, bow down to God and say, 'Please assist me in this process. I can't do it, You have to do it for me. And please dissolve, help me dissolve whatever this ego, this pride that remains here.' Start in that beautiful inner environment, then you will find that... you may find that it's all God's grace, but you may find that your inquiry becomes very potent, very strong.
