Ramayya was a sweeper in the Sathya Sai Hostel for Boys at Brindavan, Bangalore. When it came to the matter of his daughter's wedding, he hesitantly approached Swami, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, for blessings. It appeared as if Swami was ignoring him. But how can the Lord do that? He exhorts that there is only one caste, that of humanity. There is only one language, that of the heart. There is only one religion, that of love. And there is only one God who is omnipresent!

We see a repeat of the love showered by Lord Krishna at Udupi on his devotee (from a low caste), Kanakadasa. As we enjoy the goosebumps of the Kanakadasa story, we enjoy the sweet love in the Ramayya story. The delighted couple, Ramayya and his wife, learned about the wisdom and love of the Lord that day in Brindavan. The episode also clearly shows that God's delays are not His denials.
