Interview

How did you meet Anandamayi Ma?

Gilles: The meeting was conducted by communion with his words and then with the practice of Namasmarana. But that was not the first encounter. There were at the age of nine years a meeting non-conscious, then a meeting conscious thirty-three years. These two events are inextricably linked.

An interior meeting is a reality far greater and more subtle than a physical meeting. We must live to really understand it. It remains the person I met most deeply.

Who was Anandamayi Ma?

We can talk about Anandamayi Ma the imperfect, but as a deity she is always present. Present everywhere as an Avatar is all that is. It was, as mentioned his name, Mother penetrated by Beatitude.

Why is She coming?

Because She was called. It was so desired by the fervour beings that the Divine has responded to this request collective. Sants, like dictators, can be seen for humanity as thinking beings who are on Earth. Anandamayi Ma also said it would maintain this body as the desire of people would be sufficient. It showed thus a striking example of the importance of thought. She taught and, without even meaning to, by the mere fact of his presence.

Why she scored all and is unanimity?

She expressed the dream of God who lives in us all: An equal inner and outer beauty. This is still a powerful testimony of consistency and spiritual perfection most absolute.

What have you received Anandamayi Ma?

By living a communion with her, Anandamayi Ma gave me a very beautiful and very clear that we live when we are on Earth and what the Namasmarana can bring. We are lost in the mountains at night and we end up hearing the voice of someone who calls us to come and we look and we drive on the way back to safety. To join this voice calls us constantly and we must respond so that we located. Everything depends on the intensity of our response, and when this person who calls us reaches us, we discover that this is just be ourselves.

God calls us?

Yes, that's the message Anandamayi Ma, God calls us and we must respond. What a beautiful definition of the practice of Namasmarana! Anandamayi Ma told me that if we are called permanently, the Divine, through every moment of our lives, we also repeats "Do you recognize me? Do you recognize me?" which could indeed be both "Do you recognize you, Do you recognize you?".

How can I answer such a question in our daily lives?

Well, this is simply to acknowledge God everywhere, at every moment and in any circumstances. To be one with everything that is or if you prefer to be inside that acceptance is the state of gratitude to the Divine. Ma Ananda Moyi knows that God has fun and that we forgot the rules of the game And only when we forget that this is a game that we suffer.

How to play a game if we forget its rules?

The answer is simple presence of Anandamayi Ma. There is no need for words. Take the time to become as a source of permanent happiness, through the practice of Namasmarana. The rules of the game back very quickly in memory.

How she conveyed this practice?

She had great freedom of expression and especially to allow each person to enter a personal relationship with the Divine. That is mainly what is to retain its way forward. It was understood that the life of every being, what he could experiment and whatever their living conditions, social status or even its physical situation, everything was perfect for this practice of Namasmarana is implemented.

The only requirement is the intensity of our efforts or even in other words, the intensity of our love. The more we love unconditionally and more efforts are disappearing.

For Ma Ananda Moyi, the recognition of God is above all the full recognition of a divine love which is not devoid of knowledge the highest.

The structure of the initiation that you are proposing is from this communion with Her?

Yes, this means sending in the most practical, more accessible, by seven ordinary experiences of everyday life that we all live or almost. This is not a concept but rather be in communion with an everyday reality for communion with the divine reality.

What is a disciple for you?

A disciple is not necessarily one that meets physically be a spiritual master, or who do not leave. While this may be the case. A true disciple is the one that puts into practice the instructions of the spiritual master. And this disciple can live thousands of miles away, it will be much closer and more intimate with this master that those who remain very close, physically, for years and years.

The most important meetings can not be achieved from the inside.

You say that Anandamayi Ma forwarded the greatest intensity of his love and his presence when she was preparing to leave his body. What does this mean?

A candle or the sun are a true reality of what human beings are made. When a candle is on the verge of collapse and it radiates vibrates intensely and when the sun is on the verge of extinction, it gives an intensity of itself that can be felt by all. That's the same way that Anandamayi Ma left his body. Thus, I could understand an experience of bliss that I have lived in August 1982 at the age of nine.

This experience was deeply etched in my heart. I understand today as a fingerprint, an ineffable trace of Anandamayi Ma disappeared from the same date, in August 1982. I felt myself entered this Beatitude, as the words mean Ananda Moyi (penetrated Beatitude).

The path to follow is to humbly an ephemeral experience a permanent state. This is the path that offers the Namasmarana.

How can we be more faithfully disciple Anandamayi Ma?

In illuminating the world in a light that never-ending. It is one of his words the most revealing and mysterious at once. This is what I can say with complete certainty Ma. She just reveal a mystery. A mystery which can not be understood as living.
