Hi,
Do we really only use 10% of our brains? Is it
true that the average person rarely achieves but a small portion of his or her
potential? If yes, why is it so? Are we in the first place aware that we
possess a lot more potential that we can tap for our own success? Perhaps not!
Let us look at this incident from the Ramayana to learn how such potential can
be recognised and realised.

Who is Your Jambavan?
When the vanaras faced the challenge of
selecting the warrior who could cross the sea, enter Lanka, see Sita Devi, and
return; they were overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. No one including Angada,
Gaja, Gavaaksha seemed to have that capability. Then, the oldest of the vanaras
– Jambavan looked at Hanuman and said, “I feel that Hanuman has the skill and
strength to do it.” But Hanuman appeared to be neither knowing it nor confident
about it.
Jambavan knew that Hanuman was the mightiest
and the most intelligent of all the vanaras. He walked up to Hanuman and helped
him remember his own greatness by saying, “O Hanuman, when you were a child you
imagined the rising sun to be a fruit and flew very high towards the sun
effortlessly. Remember Brahma, Indra, Varuna, Vayu, Agni, Yama, and others
blessed you with several boons. No weapon can kill you. You can fly faster than
the wind. You are the equal of Garuda. Realise your true
strength and spring forward. You can cross the sea with a single step. You
alone can help us fulfil Rama’s purpose.”
Jambavan thus praised Hanuman and reminded
him of his strength and roused his dormant courage. At once, Hanuman grew in
stature, size, and form. From then on, Hanuman became the hero of the Ramayana.

Who
is your Jambavan? Do you have a mentor who is inspiring you
to realise your hidden talents and latent potential? At the same
time, can you also become a Jambavan for those you deal with at home and
office?
With love and regards,
Siva
