This story shows how much God wants us to develop a loving relationship with Him...He waits patiently for us to come home, and responds when we truly want Him.

Dr, V.K. Gokak, the first vice chancellor of Swami's university The Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning. told me that one day he asked Sai Baba to come to his house for a meal. Sai Baba readily accepted.

Dr,Gokak was excited, cleaned his house, and waited for Swami to come. Days and weeks passed. A year went by, Dr.Gokak began to think that Swami had forgotten.

Then one day, while sitting in front of altar, he noticed that the most prominent pictures were of a guru he had in the past and still had a fondness towards the pictures. Off to the side and hanging on the wall was a small picture of Swami. "This is not right, "thought Dr. Gokak.

Remembering that now Swami was the main focus of his devotion, he quickly changed the placement of pictures so that Swami's picture was in the centre.That very day, just after this seemingly small change occurred Swami came to Dr.Gokak and said warmly, "Now I will come for the meal." All that He expects from us is a loving heart.
