Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2937

At Thy own pleasure Thou hast taken various
names; them I contemplate because of the
love I bear Thee. God has grown mad, yes mad
in his eager desire for worship. He who is above
all longing longs; he stretches out his hand for a
leaf of tulsi. When once He grasps it, says Tuka,
He makes no resistance; the key to all is in His feet.
