Acharya Prashant narrates the transformative incident from the life of Goswami Tulsidas, highlighting how a moment of intense worldly passion was turned into spiritual awakening. He describes how Tulsidas, driven by lust, crossed a flooded river and climbed a snake thinking it was a rope to reach his wife. His wife’s sharp rebuke—that if he had even a fraction of such devotion for Shri Rama, he would be liberated—acted as a mirror to his ego. Acharya Prashant explains that a true Guru or lover is one who shows you the mirror of truth, especially when your ego and desires are at their peak. This sudden, harsh realization is what leads to profound transformation, as seen in the creation of the Ramcharitmanas.
