You must have heard many stories of garvabhangam, the suppression of conceit or egoism by the Lord.
One day, Anjaneya [Hanumân] appeared in a garden on the outskirts of Dvârakâ. Krishna who heard about the pranks of the strange monkey, directed Garuda to proceed and scare the animal out of the city limits. Garuda failed, even though he took the entire army with him for the fray. His pride was humbled. Krishna sent a message through him to the monkey, who had declared himself as Anjaneya, that he should deign to come to Krishna's court. But Anjaneya recognised only Râma and he would obey only the orders of Râma. So Krishna had to send another message that Râma was calling him to his audience hall!
Devotion compels the Lord to yield to the whims of His servants. Anjaneya hurried to see Râma; Krishna gave him the darsana of Râma Himself!
