It was in a joint session between the Houses and the Senate of the US Congress.<\/p>\n<p>We have not used the super sciences there properly. Now, the second part is bringing technology to it, which we have not done either. That is the reason why India is lagging behind.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal level, the super science can give you instantaneous results, which is yoga.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333399;\">Yoga Means Stopping Thoughts &amp; Brain Chatter<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yoga, as Patanjali rightly put it, is \u201cChitta Vritti Nirodha.\u201d It means stopping the fluctuations of the mind. You have 30 &#8211; 45 thoughts per minute. That\u2019s not going to work, and all of them are stupid thoughts, or most of them at least.<\/p>\n<p>So, you have to do Nirodha. Nirodha is stopping, and that is what yoga is. There are so many definitions. This is the best one. That\u2019s why this yoga is the capital, the principal, both on a personal level and on a national level.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333399;\">Thuriya: Your Super Intelligence Beyond the Mind<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I want to talk about the personal level. Where is that bank where the capital is available? It is your consciousness, the state of thuriya. It\u2019s beyond the mind. It\u2019s the super intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to go to school to acquire thuriya. You have to meditate. It has been given to you by God through a Guru, and that\u2019s very important. Seek that. Seek thuriya, the fourth state of consciousness beyond the mind. That will give you everything.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333399;\">Silent Meditation to Stop Your Thoughts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my sessions here, I will give you only a silent meditation, and I will be silent. You do it with open eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to go into silence. Just keep on watching me <em>(in the video above, at 03:43)<\/em>. Just imagine your kundalini rising from the bottom of the spine and going to your third eye, into the top of the brain.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to close your eyes, you can close your eyes. As long as your attention is on the path of the kundalini, thoughts won\u2019t come. Now open your eyes if you can and look at me. Keep on looking at my form.<\/p>\n<p>Close your eyes and relax.<\/p>\n<p>God Bless.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dr. Pillai<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href='https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/specials\/gurupurnima' class='small-button smallblue' target=\"_blank\">Join the Upcoming Full Moon of the Guru Retreat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Pillai explains the essence of yoga, which is to stop thoughts and the fluctuations of the mind.
