So a collection of enough Bose particles in thermal equilibrium will mostly be in the ground state, with only a few in any excited state, no matter how small the energy difference.

When a gas of Bose particles is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero, then its kinetic energy decreases down to a negligible amount and the particles condense into the lowest energy state.
