Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
God is greedy; He leaps for even a scrap. God is timid; He guards the doorway of Bali. God is devoted; He becomes the servant of His own servant. God becomes whatever His devotee desires Him to be. Says Tuka, God is small, smaller than the smallest atom.
