There are various methods that can help us stop the flow of thoughts. But I can say that it is not possible to stop the flow of thoughts, because thoughts are energy that exists in space by itself and carries information. If we think that we can stop the flow of thoughts, we should stop every flow of information that exists in space, every vibrating atom—everything. Can you do it? Of course not. Even when you think “I am not thinking now, there is absolutely nothing but emptiness”, you are creating a thought.
A human being can never get rid of mind altogether. Doing so would make us silly. We should educate our mind and make it our friend. It’s a huge power that must be put to proper use.
To go beyond the mind, one should achieve pratyahara. When practising Kriya Yoga, we turn off the five senses, the power of concentration goes to the Vessel of Transcendental Power, consciousness enters the spine, the power of concentration increases, and breathing stops. When breathing stops, all life processes slow down and stop, too. The energy leaves your five basic senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste, and enters the spine. You immerse your mind in the spine and attain Samadhi. This is the opportunity to go beyond the mind, personality, ego.
We have a vessel of transcendental power—the brain, medulla oblongata and spinal cord. When your mind is immersed in the vessel of transcendental power, it creates a powerful magnetism. This magnetism shuts off your five senses due to the conscious withdrawal of energy—this is exactly the way to enter a meditative state and Samadhi. But one must train for a while in order to achieve this.
