Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1762

God is the servant of His worshippers, He is ruled by His worshipper’s words. Without asking His leave he may not depart; he is afraid even to sit down.
Heart and soul God becomes one of His followers; he addresses Him in courteous speech—“Be pleased to ask something of me”.
He runs, says Tuka, at the heels of an untiring worshipper.
