Conversion of the ego means that instead of turning towards the satisfaction of desires and being at the mercy of every stroke of nature it should cultivate discernment and turn towards the Divine, live for the Divine and His Service. This turning of the ego-self and all its apparatus towards the Divine with an aspiration for the Divine is the way towards the emergence of the psychic being. When the psychic being comes out the ego becomes quiet and surrendered to the Mother, until it is ready to be dropped off. Of course the ego, if too deeply entrenched in Rajas may not surrender to the Divine easily but one day it will do so as the aspiration grows and brings us closer and closer to the Divine.
It is a process and takes time. The amount of time taken will depend upon the sincerity of the person.
Affectionately
