Is overmind descent a necessity in sadhana?

Certainly, it is necessary for those who want the Supramental change. Unless the overmind opens, there can be n o direct Supramental opening of the consciousness. If one remains in mind, even in illumined mind or the intuition, one can have indirect messages or a n influence from the Supramental, but, not a direct Supramental control of the consciousness or the Supramental change.
