Dr. Pillai:>> Can seniors make money?
I just returned from Florida.
I had a great trip.
I found out that 31% of the people, sombody said, in Florida are seniors.
And I happened to meet some of them and I had a talk and I met a few interesting people
there.
I'm motivated to work with the seniors and to give them a proper understanding about,
about their own incredible strength.
It's an oxymoron to talk about the strength of people who are really waiting for death
to strike them.
It's a wrong attitude.
Being a senior or being an old person is not a negative point.
It is the most powerful period of one's life.
Being a senior is the most powerful period of one's life.
Have you heard about that?
No, nobody talks about that because they talk about pain and frustration, being lonely,
being abandoned and so on and so forth.
But What is the positive side of it?
The positive side of it is that they are retired people and they have reasonably, at least
the people that I met, have insured that they have everything to take care of them until
they go to the grave.
But where is their strength?
Their strength is in the time that is available: in their hands.
They have all of the time available and what are they going to do with the time?
And that is the most important thing that they have to understand.
If they just wile away the time watching TV or being frustrated about being lonely, or
frustrated about the disease they have, then life will become miserable.
But if they use the time in a positive way, and disallowing all negative thoughts, all
goofy thoughts, all superficial thoughts, but just focusing on thoughts that are very
productive, that are very creative, you can create wonders.
But We don't have training.
We don't know how to train the mind.
Thoughts are after all, are not without your control.
Because We have never attempted to control our thoughts.
We think they are an autonomous process and we cannot do anything with the thoughts.
But It is very, very easy to control your thoughts, provided you know the techniques.
and Once you control the thoughts, then you are very quiet.
In Yoga it is said there is your real strength: your real strength is in the gap between two
thoughts and there are specific ways that you can see the gap in between the two thoughts,
and the gap is total bliss. and The breath will momentarily stop and then you will have
access into this realm, the realm of pure silence in between the two thoughts, and in
that realm, you are incredibly powerful.
After training for a week, you'll be able to see what I mean by seeing the gap, or being
a master of your own mind.
