मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगम्
जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम् |
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यम्
श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये ||
Manojavam maaruta-tulya-vegam
Jitendriyam buddhimataam variShTham.
Vaataatmajam vaanara-yootha-mukhyam
Shree Raama-dootaM sharaNam prapadye.
— Ram Raksha Stotra
Meaning: I prostrate to Lord Hanuman, the son of wind God, who is swift like the mind and wind, mastered the senses, of very high intellect & wisdom, foremost among the Vaanaraas and is a devotee of Lord Rama.
Hanuman is one of the best examples of intelligent samarpit power. Hanuman was one the most intelligent, dynamic and physically powerful warrior in the army of Sugriva. The very fact that he was chosen to go to Lanka, and his conduct over there, is a testament of his wit & strength. His power was unparalleled, and he knew it, and yet he was completely samarpit to Lord Ram. That is his noblest attribute.
May we imbibe these qualities from this great character and become samarpit soldiers of God.
Jay Veer Hanuman ! Jay Bajrang Bali !

Hanuman Jayanti is coming up pretty soon. We should remember this great personality from Indian history who is a symbol of true bhakti (devotion) and true samarpan (submission). Rev. Pandurang Shastri Athavale says that samarpan can only be done by those who have strength and power. There is no meaning to samarpan by the weak. It's almost akin to the Sanskrit phrase abhaave brahmachaari (अभावे ब्रह्मचारी —a bachelor who is a bachelor because he/she didn't get a spouse).
