God's Generosity and Condescension
मराठी मूळ · गाथा 933
एवढा प्रभु भावें । तेणें संपुष्टी राहावें ॥1॥
होय भHीं केला तैसा । पुरवी धरावी ते इच्छा ॥ध्रु.॥
एवढा जगदानी। मागे तुळसीदळ पाणी ॥2॥
आला नांवा रूपा । तुका ह्मणे जाला सोपा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation · I.P. 293
HOUGII our Lord is so great, yet faith can JL make him dwell in a casket. He assumes the form that his worshipper has imposed on him; he fulfils his desires as he conceives them. Though he who gives us the world is so great, yet he asks us for a leaf of tulsi and water. He has assumed name and shape; he has made himself easy to reach, says Tuka.
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
