Gayatri Mahima

[Guest guest]

Q.9. On what should one concentrate during Upasana?

 

Ans. Those believing in Divinity `with form' (Sakar) are advised to concentrate

on an idol or picture of Gayatri, whereas those having faith in formless God

(Nirakar) may concentrate in the central, part of the sun, all the while

imagining that the ethereal solar energy is permeating and purifying the trio

of, physical (Sthool) subtle (Sooksham) and causal (Karan) bodies of the

Sadhak). During Upasana, it is necessary to concentrate one's thoughts

exclusively on the deity. Persistent attempts should be made to restrain

thoughts from wandering. Extraneous thoughts should not be allowed to enter the

mind.
