"As we grow older, real beauty travels from the face to the heart, appeal turns to charm, hurt to wisdom, and great moments to shared memories. The true beauty of life is not how happy you are now, but how happy others are because of you."

William Martin's The Parent’s Tao Te Ching.
“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”#

Letting go of an “I” that wants a ‘next step.’ :-)
“Who” wants a next step? “Who” wants a feeling of Oneness? Doesn’t identifying or catering to a separate “I” that wants these things immediately confer duality instead of Oneness?
“You” are a dream-character, and “your” function is to dream in separateness. Oneness is already doing Oneness. It doesn’t need you to emulate that.
If the ilusory “I” that wants Oneness and wants ‘next steps’ ever collapses (a non-event that does not take place in time and which “you,” absolutely, cannot ‘cause,’) all there will be is Oneness, or Being. It’s all there has ever been…and it’s not “your” concern.
Unless you are still clinging to being an “I,” chasing after experiences and ‘spiritual progress.’ 🙏🏻

BHAKTA AVATAR
Hanuman ji is God in the form of Bhakta (devotee) while Shri Ram is God in the form of Aaradhya (God). So yes, Hanuman ji is definitely God. He is actually a Bhakt avatar i.e. He is God but in the form of devotee while Shri Ram is God in the form of leader. God in his Ram roop teaches us how to lead while God in his Hanuman form teaches how to serve, support
