[Mohini:]>> Dr. Pillai, a lot of people have been asking if they can become a millionaire,
even if they haven’t achieved any financial success so far.
So what is your response to them?
[Dr. Pillai:]>> Theoretically, yes, but practically, not impossible, but difficult.
Why is that?
It is because of the nature of the mind.
There is only one rule or law, I would say.
What’s the law?
The law is:,‘You become as you think.’
So your thoughts manifest the reality.
Now, you have to look at it more deeply.
In one minute, the average thoughts are like anywhere between 35 to 50 thoughts a minute.
And that is the reason why nobody is able to accomplish what they want to accomplish.
So we have to train the mind to stay focused.
And if they really stay focused then it is possible.
There was a billionaire who came to me, he was then not a billionaire.
And then he told me that he had joined this Wall Street firm as a sales person, and now
he is the CEO and Chairman.
And he was still not able to become a billionaire.
And he took me to an Indian Restaurant in New York and then told me “I wanted to see
you because I became from a Sales person to the CEO because I meditated with a mantra.
Now, can you give me a mantra to become a billionaire?
I said, ”Yes.”
Give me a paper and pen.
And he gave me one.
And I just wrote the billionaire’s mantra which was: ‘Billionaire I am.”
And he didn’t believe me.
He said, “This is English; it’s not going to work.
I know Sanskrit.
I know about mantras.”
I said, “It will still work.
It doesn’t matter whether it is English or Sanskrit.”
So that proves the theory that you become as you think.
If you go on saying over and over and over and over again something, that will manifest.
So what happens with us?
To answer your question, ‘Can everybody become a millionaire?’
Yes, if you remain focused.
If you keep on focusing your mind on one particular thought.
Mantra is better because it has special power because these are special sounds.
And these special sounds have the ability to manifest.
And I’ll talk about it during the program how these sounds manifest.
Because everything in this world starts from a sound.
Without sound there is no creation.
Ultimately, everything had to be reduced to just sound waves.
Sound waves create.
So, can everybody become a millionaire?
Yes, if you train your mind.
The whole program is about training your mind.
First to get your thoughts to 15 thoughts a minute.
That will be ideal.
And then, at that level, then your thought will become very powerful.
They are not frivolous thoughts.
So what are you going to learn from this program is just how to train the mind to remain focused.
I’ll tell you an example.
Bill Gates said, he’s the richest man in the world, that nobody can dissuade him from
his interest in computers.
And that was his focus.
I remember when I was teaching at the University of Pittsburgh, a course on manifestation.
It was about in the 1980s.
Bill Gates had made about 10 billion dollars.
Time Magazine asked him, “Bill Gates, do you really want to make more money?”
“Yes, I do.”
Why?
“Because I want to take time off.”
With 10 billion dollars he was not satisfied.
So did he, so was he satisfied later on?
Yes, when he made 100 billion dollars.
So, focus is everything.
It’s not that Bill Gates was born rich.
Everybody has the ability to manifest whatever they want to manifest.
I can talk about it forever.
I don’t want to occupy you with just one idea.
Yes, you can.
Everybody can, but it is a matter of commitment, it is a matter of focus.
It’s a matter of commitment.
It’s a matter of focus.
