Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
देव बराडी देव बराडी । घाली देंठासाटीं उडी ॥1॥
देव भ्याड देव भ्याड । राखे बळीचें कवाड ॥ध्रु.॥
देव भाविक भाविक । होय दासाचें सेवक ॥2॥
देव होया देव होया । जैसा ह्मणे तैसा तया ॥3॥
देव लाहान लाहान । तुका ह्मणे अनुरेण॥4॥
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.
