Whatever form you attribute to Divinity, contemplate on that form. When you worship that form, your mind may waver quite a bit in the beginning. One-pointed focusing of the mind on a particular form is called concentration. When you practice concentration, the wavering of the mind may somewhat reduce. That is the state of contemplation. In contemplation also, there is some wavering of the mind. When the mind becomes totally steady, only then can you call it meditation. Gradually, you forget yourself. That is the super conscious state (samadhi) in which you transcend all forms. Then you will experience the attributeless Divine.
-Divine Discourse, 6 July 2009.
