In plain words
From the moment Tulasīdās left that home until he gave up this body, he did not think for a single moment of anything, of that home or of those ties. That is intense Vairāgya. To think we experience something great merely because we live somewhere in solitude is only a weakness. What can a fool who could not experience it in a sacred atmosphere, in a sacred presence itself, experience in solitude? It is impossible. So, thinking, "I must experience it in such a divine presence itself," he left the mountain of Citrakūṭa and came away. Foolishly I thought I should live in solitude. Where in this world is there solitude? Wherever one looks, You alone are there. Can You show me a lonely place anywhere? So the place where You are is the chief place for me. He reached Ayodhyā.
Here you must note well one more thing. Many may say that Mīrā too lived in the time of this Tulasīdās. This is true. One day many people were tormenting Mīrā. "Always thinking of God, you are wholly abandoning the duty of a human being. This is not right. You must practise your Dharma": so many people went on telling her, kindly and unkindly and harshly. They also reviled her, saying it was folly to turn a deaf ear to the words of elders. They also taught her that her parents were her chief ideals. She sank into a state of doubt. On one side Kṛṣṇa, on the other side her kinsfolk. The doubt kept tormenting her whether to give up Kṛṣṇa for the sake of her kin, or to give up everything for the sake of Kṛṣṇa. Slowly she came to Tulasīdās. "Great soul! I am in such a state. Give me a true dawning of Jñāna and tell me which I should keep and which I should leave," she prayed. For a few minutes Tulasīdās was absorbed in dhyāna. "Rāma! Give the right answer to this through me Yourself," he asked. I am a loudspeaker. You are the one who speaks. This is what Potana too said of himself: "What is spoken, they say, is the Bhāgavatam; He who makes me speak it, they say, is Rāmabhadra; what I speak, they say, takes away saṃsāra."
He gave the answer well and straight. "Mīrā! In the order of nature, parents and gurus are most necessary. For the sake of the worldly sphere, you must bow to your parents' command. You must show them gratitude. But if they stand in the way of the path to God, give them up, be it mother, be it father, be it guru," he said.
