In Mahārāja Gaya’s sacrifices, there was a great supply of the intoxicant known as soma. King Indra used to come and become intoxicated by drinking large quantities of soma-rasa. Also, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Viṣṇu [the yajña-puruṣa] also came and personally accepted all the sacrifices offered unto Him with pure and firm devotion in the sacrificial arena.
Purport

Mahārāja Gaya was so perfect that he satisfied all the demigods, who were headed by the heavenly King Indra. Lord Viṣṇu Himself also personally came to the sacrificial arena to accept the offerings. Although Mahārāja Gaya did not want them, he received all the blessings of the demigods and the Supreme Lord Himself.

Translation
When Indra became drunk at the sacrifice of King Gaya from drinking too much soma, the Supreme Lord, the soul of sacrifice, accepted the results of worship offered with faith and pure, steady devotion. When Indra became drunk with soma in the sacrifice the Lord accepted the offerings. The Lord accepted those offerings as worship directly.

Personal Guidance
Even Indra and Viṣṇu Himself accepted Gaya's offerings personally because his devotion was pure and firm. When the heart is right, the highest do not refuse the smallest invitation. Offer, with sincerity, and watch who shows up.
Reflection Questions
  • What sincere invitation could you extend to the Lord today in your practice or worship?
  • Where do you withhold invitation because you doubt His willingness to come?
