How shall I, always meditating upon You, know You, O master of yoga? And in what particular forms are You to be thought of by me, O Blessed Lord? This sincere question of the meditator — how to hold God in mind practically — is the gateway to understanding the divine through His specific manifestations.
- •Asking how to meditate on God is a mark of sincere spiritual aspiration
- •The Lord's specific forms provide the mind a foothold for contemplation
- •Practical meditation requires concrete objects of focus
