All we know about poet-saint Tulsi Das of medieval India. The poet was intensely in love with his newlywed wife who was staying with her parents. Driven by the desire to be united with her, he left home. But in between his home and his in-laws' house, there was a river swollen with rain water. It was midnight. Tulsi Das looked for a raft and soon found one to cross the river. On reaching his in-laws' place, he found the door bolted from inside as everybody was asleep. So he located a rope hanging from a nearby tree, climbed upto the first storey and entered the room where his wife was sleeping. Impatient with passion, he woke her up and unmindful of her reaction, he enjoyed conjugal bliss.

Once satiated, he came back to his senses and woke up to his wife's scolding who instead of appreciating his intense feelings for her rebuked him saying that had he shown such intense attachment towards God, he would have attained sainthood. This touched a very sensitive cord in young Tulsi Das's heart who immediately left his wife's chamber. On his way back, he found that the rope he had used was actually a hanging cobra; the raft he had used was a dead body. According to the anecdote, he left in search of God, and never went back to his wife and, in due course of time, attained enlightenment.

So profound was the impact of positive stress and special emphasis on a person and her words!
