Shri Hanuman with strong body and great intellect was a humble servant
to Shri Ram. Strong conviction is an integral part of the realization
of SELF. The following example from a book illustrates how a person
with strong conviction can find a way to get out of the prison enclosed
by the body, mind and intellect. This example was originally stated by
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. (Reference: Essentials of Hinduism, by V.
Krishnamurthy (1989), Narosa Publishing House, New Delhi. Page 136.)

Shri Ram asked Hanuman, What is your attitude toward me?
How do you look upon, think of and worship me?

Hanuman replied, Oh Lord:

When I am conscious of my body, when I feel I am this visible body and
I have the conviction that thou art the Lord and I am thy servant. Thou
art to be served and I am one to serve.

When I am conscious of my self as the individual self, one with the
mind, the intellect and the soul, I have the strong conviction that thou
art the whole and I am thy part.

When I remain in Samadhi, in the mood that I am the Pure SELF devoid of
all qualifying adjuncts, I have the conviction that I am also verily
that which Thou art. Thou and I are one, there is
no difference whatsoever between Thou and I.

The first part of Hanuman's answer stresses his attitude to serve (Karma
Yoga). The second part focuses on the surrender attitude (Bhakti Yoga).
The final part of the answer confirms the inseparability or non-duality
(Jnana Yoga).
