'Even a decision made after carefully considering what should be done and what shouldn’t doesn’t come out successful (when undertaken by a careless messenger). Messengers who think themselves learned (but act carelessly) kill all chances for success in the mission.' (Hanuman, Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 2.40) 'Hanuman Entering Lanka' is a collection of thirty essays discussing the verses in the Ramayana which describe Hanuman’s initial entry into the city of Lanka to look for Sita Devi, the princess of Videha.
