This is Hanuman, who is considered the greatest spiritual achiever in the present universal cycle, and consequently he will attain the role of Brahma the creator god, in the next universal cycle.
This is interesting because Hanuman was a being with primate monkey like characteristics who at the same time had near human intelligence and communication skills.
Osho was of the opinion that Hanuman may be the missing link between primates and humans.
Hanuman was quick to identify the Avatar Rama and serve him with great passion, humility and courage, undertaking dangerous feats in this regard. He was someone similar to Christoper in strength and courage who carried the infant Christ.
Rama was twelve degrees or kalas in the scale of perfection, while Hanuman was fourteen degrees or kalas in perfection.
It is said that the primate Hanuman rose even above the Avatar Rama due to his humility and devotion. When we bow down to someone in humility and love, it is said that we rise above that person. By bowing to Rama in love and obedience to him in executing his tasks, Hanuman rose above Rama as well.
Imho, Hanuman's love for Rama can be compared to Radha's love for Krishna. His whole life was an offering of love and service to Rama and Dharma.
Love is one of the greatest stimulants to the will. Under the influence of love the will can do almost anything.” — Paramahansa Yogananda.
You can say that Hanuman exemplifies this great saying of Yogananda, and through his deep and intense love for Rama, overcame his primate limitations in order to serve him effectively in his Avataric mission, and attain enlightenment.
