Is it the will of God only that Hanuman served as servant of God while Radha entered mad devotion?

[Smt. Chhanda asked: In yesterday's Satsang, You told that Rādhā went beyond human capacity to go into mad devotion whereas Hanumān served as the servant of God and didn't cross the human limit. Hence, Rādhā achieved the Goloka and Hanumān achieved Brahmaloka. My question in this regard is that though both of them are the Incarnations of Lord Śiva i.e. the omnipotent one, Rādhā went beyond limit whereas Hanumān restricted Himself to human limit as they already have got the ultimate control internally. If Hanumān wanted He could have also gone to mad devotion. So is it the will of God only that these two omnipotent Incarnations will behave in two different ways? Why is it so? At the same time how can an ordinary soul can go in the same path without God's grace? At Your divine lotus feet Swami.]

Swami replied:- Both Brahmaloka and Goloka are very close to each other and you need not make much difference between these two fruits. Why Rādhā behaved like that and why Hanumān behaved like that? The reason is that Rādhā is in the final female birth in which the male ego can never exist. Hanumān is also in the almost final birth existing as male with little trace of male ego. As per the service and sacrifice are concerned there is no difference between the two. Rādhā opposed even justice for the sake of God. Hanumān had some male ego due to which He fought with Rāma to protect King Yayāti from Rāma due to His promise given to His mother. This male ego can disappear only when the soul gets the final birth as female. This is the reason why Rāma asked the male sages to be born as real females in the next birth to get rid of the male ego. As far as the love to God is concerned both are almost one and the same. Even though God Śiva is common in both as the actor, the difference existed as per the rule.
