After the great victory in Lanka,
the battlefield was silent.
Mountains were still.
The sky was calm.
Hanuman stood proudly,
his chest lifted,
his eyes shining with confidence.
He had crossed oceans.
Defeated mighty enemies.
Completed impossible tasks.
The Vanara warriors praised him.
“There is no one as powerful as Hanuman!”
they said.
Hanuman smiled.
Inside his heart,
a small feeling of pride arose.
As Hanuman walked through the forest,
he noticed a quiet sage sitting near a rock.
The sage did not look impressed.
He did not stand.
He did not praise.
Hanuman stopped.
“Do you know who I am?”
Hanuman asked gently.
The sage smiled calmly.
“I know,” he said.
“You are strong.”
Hanuman felt pleased.
The sage then asked softly,
“Can you move this small rock?”
Hanuman laughed.
“With ease,” he said.
He placed his hand on the rock
and pushed.
The rock did not move.
Hanuman frowned.
He used more strength.
Still, nothing happened.
Surprised, Hanuman stepped back.
The sage smiled again.
“Strength wins battles,”
the sage said,
“but humility wins wisdom.”
Hanuman’s smile faded.
The sage continued,
“You crossed oceans not by pride,
but by devotion.
You won wars not by ego,
but by surrender.”
Hanuman lowered his head.
He realized something important.
His power did not come from himself alone.
It came from faith.
From service.
From humility.
Hanuman folded his hands.
“Forgive me,” he said softly.
“I forgot the source of my strength.”
The sage touched the rock.
It moved easily.
Hanuman bowed deeply.
As he walked away,
his steps were lighter.
His heart was calmer.
That day,
Hanuman learned his greatest lesson—
Victory is meaningful
only when carried with humility.
🌟 MORAL OF THE STORY
True greatness is not in winning,
but in remaining humble after success.
