Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 303

A tender deity who tends the cows, will He ask a rich present from you? He is pacified by the language of faith; He is gladdened by imperfect speech. He needs no multitude of forms nor profession of respect.
Tuka says, In the company of the helpless He lays aside his greatness.
