Once Nag Mahashay visited Holy Mother at her residence on Sarkarbari Lane in Calcutta. The Mother described his exuberant devotion:
“What wonderful devotion he had! Look at this dry sal leaf-plate. Could anyone eat it? But out of overwhelming devotion, he swallowed even the leaf-plate because prasada had touched it. Ah, his eyes were full of devotion – slightly reddish and always moist with tears. His body was emaciated from severe austerities. When he came to see me, his body would tremble out of devotion and it was hard for him to climb up the stairs. His steps would falter. I have never seen such devotion in anyone.”
Holy Mother once gave him a cloth, but Nag Mahashay never used it. On special occasions he would tie it around his head. Sometimes he would say, “Mother is more gracious than Father.”
