In plain words
This is not right. The reason is that those great souls were people who recognised the close bond between the two. They did not think of the two as a separate wife and husband. They thought of the two as object and reflection. Among the things Tulasīdās specially taught, he took three as one. Begin with the ordinary man who says, I am the body; stand on the middle path of I am the jīva; and reach the goal of I am Brahman: so he said. Even that is not the supreme goal. For even there duality remains. Ahaṃ brahmāsmi. There are two there, ahaṃ and Brahman. There they said ahaṃ, ahaṃ. So the principle of I, I is the principle of Ātmārāma, he said. This is Ramyatīti Rāmaḥ. What gives delight is the very form of Rāmacandra, he said. So the teaching of Tulasīdās showed the way by which Mokṣa too is gained through that very saṃsāra in which it began.
He also taught that we must not live apart from divinity. He said that to rely on your own strength is folly. He said, you have no such right. "You are mere inert matter. The true consciousness is the principle of the Ātma within you. See that consciousness," he said. There is plenty to be told about Tulasīdās. Yet we must take only what is needed, follow the divine path, show our manhood, make divinity blossom and experience the divine; to recognise this truth and act on it is most necessary. Telling you this, I close My long discourse.
Above all, the essence of this is: only when we act as our word says do we become human beings. When our word is one thing and our conduct another, we are not truly human beings: recognise this truth, weigh your words, and try to live them. Try to use them. It is not possible to practise all that has been said. That is true. But when we put even one or two things into practice in our life, our birth becomes worthwhile. It was for this very reason that at the start I took a stubborn stand and said I would not speak. You may waste your words, but My words are precious. So I do not like to waste them. Wasting time is good for no one. No farmer would like to sow seed according to the right season, in the right soil, at the right time, and then let it go to waste.
