There is nothing negative in this world. Negativity lies in thoughts.

All these posts can be taken in two ways: 1. Attack on our beliefs. (Negatively) OR 2. Opportunity to seek divine love bliss. (Positively)

Many times it happens that scolding, which is considered to be negative helps the person to search more fruitful ways. There are stories that some of the persons on receiving scolding from parent left their house and went to become influential persons.

The story of Tulsidas who went to became greatest saint of this era is not different.

After marriage, Tulsidas was so much attached to his wife, out of love and sex, that he would not leave her. His brothers decided to send his wife to her house for few days. So, they took Tulsidas with them in the morning and asked his wife to go back to her home with her brother.

On coming home in the evening, Tulsidas could not find his wife. He searched everywhere and in the end came to know that she had gone to her village. It was raining heavily since afternoon that day. Because of the rain the river that separated two villages was flooded.

Tulsidas mad with the attachment decided to go to his wife in the night. He jumped into the flooded river and caught hold of corpse, thinking it to be trunk of tree, as support to swim. After reaching to the residence of her wife, he found that the main doors were locked from inside as it was already dark. There was a snake moving into his hole up the wall on which the window of the room was open.

Tulsidas caught the tail of snake, taking the snake for rope. The big snake who was half in the hole, half out,sustained the weight of Tulsidas and Tulsidas climbed over to the window and jumped in to the room. His wife, not aware of who entered the room, shouted 'Thief, Thief..'. People in the house rushed to her room and lighted the room with lamp. To their surprise, it was Tulsidas. All of them went back.

But his wife scolded Tulsidas on making such an appearance. she said, 'If you had loved God Ram this much, by this time you would have got divine bliss!'

Tulsidas took it positively and saw the message in her words. He then practiced devotion to Lord Ram and became one of the greatest saint in the history of the world.   These stories highlight that saints, before acquiring divine bliss, were just like us indulging in sensual pleasures of all sorts.
