In plain words
"For God is greater even than mother, father and guru. There is no one greater than God. All of these are responsible for the bubble of water, impermanent, passing and Asatya. Before you were born, who were your parents? After you die, who are your parents? But God was there before. He is there in between. He is there afterwards. But in worldly matters, obey the command of your parents and walk by it. If they stand between you and God, give them up and choose God alone," he said.
"Did not Prahlāda give up Hiraṇyakaśipu, who came between Prahlāda and Nārāyaṇa? What loss came to Prahlāda from giving him up? Though Kaikeyī, who stood between Rāma and himself, was his mother, and though she argued with him in many ways, Bharata defied his mother's word and went to the forest after Rāma. "Mother, do not stand in the way between Rāma and me. Rāma comes first for me; Kaikeyī, though my mother, does not matter to me," he said. When Emperor Bali was giving his gift to Vāmana, his guru Śukrācārya stood in the way. Giving up even his guru, Emperor Bali gave everything to Vāmana. Such people won only great fame; no ill fame and no evil fate of any kind came to them. So whoever stands in the way of God, take them as enemies," said Tulasīdās. He said, take as true gurus those who help you to reach God. He said, I myself am the example of this. My wife taught me about God, told me to go to the presence of God alone, to think of God alone, and taught me that if I placed this wretched infatuation on God, I would be somewhat set right. She is my true guru. This is the Ānanda that was in my own experience. Had she truly gone along with my infatuation, I too would have been in hell. I would have sunk in these bonds of saṃsāra and suffered many kinds of sorrow. Tulasīdās went on giving many good teachings of this kind. He went on giving counsel to many people.
The Rāmāyaṇa of Tulasīdās is most sacred. There is the Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, there is the Rāmāyaṇa of Tulasī, there is the Rāmāyaṇa of Kamban. All three of them followed the right path well in this Rāmāyaṇa. Though the three belonged to three different times, all their writing came together as one.
