Who is very close to God ?

  This incident happened during Ramayana times . Rama was crowned king . 

Once sage Narada came to visit Sri Ram . He was informed that Sri Ram is in his room . Narada went there .

He saw Hanuman is guarding the room from outside . Narada went near Hanuman and said his desire to meet Sri Ram .

Hanuman allowed him to go inside . Narada entered the room and saw Sri Ram writing something on a notebook .

Narada was curious to know what Sri Ram is writing . He came near Sri Ram and asked about the same . Sri Ram replied he is writing the names of his devotees .

Narada was anxious to know if Sri Ram has written his name in the book or not . He requested Sri Ram that he will have a quick look at the written list .

Sri Ram agreed and handed over the book to Narada to see . Narada quickly had a look to check whether his name is there or not .  He was pleased to find his name on the top of the first page itself !

After this , he wanted to know at what point Hanuman's name will come . He searched the whole book . But he could not find name of Hanuman !!

Narada was very surprised . He came out of room . He said the same to Hanuman . Hanuman was not at all worried . He just smiled without saying anything .

Narada again went inside the room to ask Sri Ram about why name of Hanuman is not there in the list Sri Ram is preparing . 

He saw Sri Ram is writing in different notebook . Again Narada wanted to know what Sri Ram is writing .Sri Ram replied that he is writing the names of devotees for whom he himself prays .

Narada had a quick look . There he saw the name of Hanuman at the top of the page .

Now Narada realised who is the real devotee .
