Sai Master's encounter with Ma Anandmayi

In this auspicious Navarathri time, let us talk about one of the Greatest Saints of India - Sri Anandamayi amma - for she was widely prayed as living Kali. 

She is widely recognized as a personality of great spiritual eminence and exalted soul by many. Like another saint, Chivatam Amma, she was also simple in explaining and showing the right way. Here is an example (excerpt from anandamayi.org):


How can we get rid of the sense of 'me' and 'mine' ('amar' in Bengali)?


Ma: Delete this ‘a’ at the beginning; what remains is ‘mar’ (lit ‘belonging to Ma’, ‘of Ma’). Let< the five senses and the five organs of action do their work, but stay put on the Name; then, your ego will gradually diminish. When you feel that the recitation of the Name is going on spontaneously from within, the ego will decrease as well.
