"At that moment, Sri Ma was nearing ninety, in poor health and suffering from intestinal parasites. In fact, she left her body six months later, on August 28, 1982. Yet even at that age, her spiritual radiance was undiminished, immense, awesome, almost mythical in proportion. It had almost no relationship to her joyous manners; instead, it was the radiance of the light of the Atman shining through the illusion of her physical frame. She had a titanic spiritual presence about her that transformed everything within hundreds of yards into bliss. Wherever she went, she carried a portable Devaloka. All who came near her felt the ocean currents of Satchidananda coursing through her. Because of this, her foremost disciple, Bhaiji, titled her Anandamayi Ma, “bliss-permeated Mother.”
Sri Ma never appeared like an ordinary human being to me. I never related to her as an Indian woman, or even as a Hindu saint, or incarnation of the divine Mother or as a satguru. She was a personification of Absolute Reality, dwelling always in a state of cosmic consciousness, the natural state of sahaja samadhi. Many claim to have achieved that state, but in Anandamayi Ma its attainment was indisputable."

Notice how this person can find a distinction between Ma's 'state of being' and 'state of bodily health'? You on the other hand, insist that a joyful state of being, by virtue of LOA, would dictate that the bodily state, followed.
In your ontology, a state of "poor health, suffering with intestinal parasites," cannot abide alongside a state of being/general countenance of joy.
You took Niz and Ramana's cancer at the end of their lives as evidence that were "out of alignment." So, do you apply the same to "Ma"? I wonder?
I actually read in one account that she died of smallpox....if so, there's that too. Can one who is fully in alignment catch and die of smallpox according to your ontology?
I suspect you will find some way to explain this discrepancy...can't wait to hear it.
