Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1653

God is bound to feed all animals; we need not
trouble ourselves what we shall get to eat.
God is bound to enquire into guilt and merit;
to us all men alike are good. God is bound to
create and to destroy; we have nothing, much or
little, to do. God has work and duties to do; we
have perpetual leisure. Tuka says, If you will
consider our state, you will find we are better off
than God.
