Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri

I am drawn to the Mother’s Teachings, and for the past couple of years spent quite some time reading and taking notes on a variety of subjects.

“Within you is a psychic being—a divine being, a direct portion of the Mother, pure and untouched by all these defects. It is hidden and covered by ordinary consciousness and nature. But when its covering is removed and it becomes able to come forward and take control, it transforms the ordinary consciousness, casts out all these undivine elements, and thoroughly transforms the outer nature.” – Sri Aurobindo. How will the psychic being come forward and change our nature? 😊🙏🏻❤️‍🔥🌷
