The Mother, "Notes on the Way", 4 March 1967, P. 60
about Transformation:

"This problem of transformation, I see more and more clearly
that there are three approaches to it, three ways of proceeding,
and to be complete the three must be combined.
One, naturally the most important one, is the way that
may be called “spiritual”, which is that of contact with the
Consciousness—Love-Consciousness-Power, yes, it is that; it
is these three aspects: the supreme Love-Consciousness-Power,
and the contact, the identification: to render all the material cells
capable of receiving That and expressing That—to be That.
Of all the means, this is the most powerful, and the most
indispensable.
There is the occult way, which makes all the intermediary
worlds intervene. There is a very detailed knowledge of all the
powers and personalities, all the intermediary regions, and it
uses all that. It is there that one makes use of the divinities of
the Overmind. This is in the second way. Shiva, Krishna, all the
aspects of the Mother form part of this second way.
And then there is the higher intellectual approach, which
is the projection of a spirit transcending the scientific, which
seizes the problem from below, and which has its importance
also. From the viewpoint of detailed handling, this approach
diminishes the approximations, brings a more direct and precise
action.
If the three can be combined, then evidently the thing will
go faster.
Without the first nothing is possible, without it the others
are even illusory: they lead nowhere, you turn round and round
indefinitely. But if you clothe the first with the other two, then
I think the action becomes much more precise and direct and
rapid.
This is the result of the “studies” these days"
