Esther, an elderly woman living in Florida, asked her travel agent to book her a ticket to India.  Surprised, he told her that it was a very long trip, there were safety issues on the streets, it would be difficult to get kosher food, she wouldn’t be able to drink the water, and that there were many other places that he could recommend for an enjoyable vacation and tour.  “I want to go to India,” she insisted.  She got her ticket, flew to India, went directly to an ashram and asked to see the guru.  “There is a three day wait,” she was told.  “OK,” she said “I’ll wait.”  Three days later, as Esther was being escorted to the holy guru for his blessing, she was told that she could only say three words to him.  “OK,” she said.  “I’ll only say three words.”  When she was finally ushered in to the inner sanctum, she stared straight at the guru and said “Chaim, come home.”
