I don't know how this figure first appeared in the Godly knowledge as propagated by the BKs, but it is generally believed by the BKs/PBKs that since it is famous in India that there are 900,000 stars in the sky, there should be 900,000 deities in the beginning of the Golden Age.

It is said that practice makes a man perfect. Baba also says that you can overcome wasteful thoughts by trying to practice focussing your mind on positive thoughts through the study of Godly knowledge, meditation and Godly service. For the practice of meditation, it is believed by the BKs/PBKs that the best time to do this is pre-dawn period (Amrit Vela).
From a worldly point of view, you can overcome unnecessary thoughts by engaging your mind in reading some useful books, watching some useful programmes on TV, listening to some soothing music, engaging in some hobby (like gardening, painting, etc.) or sport or some socially useful activity.

Although perfection may be a relative term for different people, it is believed by the BKs/PBKs that the following steps may help one to achieve a stage of purity/perfection:
1. Considering oneself to be a soul, not this non-living body and realizing the pure stage of the soul and remembering the Supreme Soul as a source of powers, virtues, etc.
2. Adherence of:
a) Brahmacharya (purity of thoughts, words and actions)
b) Pure food (purely vegetarian food, preferably cooked by self or a practioner of BK/PBK knowledge in a soul conscious stage in the remembrance of God)
c) Inculcation of virtues (helped by study of Godly versions as contained in Murlis and Avyakt Vanis)
d) Satsang (literally meaning company of truth, but here it means attending the spiritual gatherings, i.e. BK/PBK classes daily or as regularly as it is convenient for you)

From BK/PBK point of view meditation means considering oneself to be a soul and remembering the Supreme Soul Shiv. There is no difference of opinion amongs BKs/PBKs with regard to considering oneself to be a soul, but there is difference in the way they remember the Supreme Soul.
BKs remember the Supreme Soul as a point of light either in the Soul World (which they believe to be located beyond this physical world/universe) or as a point of light in the middle of the forehead of Brahma Baba.
PBKs remember the Supreme Soul as a point of light in the middle of the forehead of Baba Virendra Dev Dixit.

How to remove 100% body-consciousness?
Soul consciousness means to consider oneself as a luminous point of light sitting/located in the middle of the forehead and experiencing this body as a non-living thing, just like a driver driving a vehicle or like a person operating a machine or like a person living in a house. It also involves thinking about the original form of a soul which is pure, virtuous, righteous, peaceful, joyful, etc. and thinking about The Cycle of 84 births that a soul has passed through in this world drama of 5000 years. If someone has actually realized himself/herself to be a soul then the original pure form of the soul should also reflect in his/her words and actions.
Body consciousness means to consider oneself to be this body made up of the five elements. It also involves thinking about the pleasures of the bodily organs and things/persons associated with the body. There are different levels of body consciousness just as there could be different levels of soul consciousness.
