With this view, meditation on objects of the subtlest nature and in the subtlest way is thought to be the best. For the purpose, generally, one of the Divine attributes is taken up to meditate upon. The same do we follow in Sahaj Marg. By this we mean to proceed from the quality to the possessor of quality. Since we aim at the final state of subtleness, it is but essential that the object we take up must also be subtlest in nature. No imaginary form should be put to it in order to bring it physically into our mental vision. Any attempt to visualize the thought-object in a supposed form will lead to grosser effect and consequently the efficacy of the process will be lost and ultimate success will become doubtful. It may even lead to mental disorder if it is practiced in an intensified way. For this reason it is very necessary for every one to be very careful in the selection of the object for meditation. The best course would be to follow the tried methods and to try at all cost to avoid grosser views connected with concrete objects for meditation.
