"In order to concentrate on an object, either
internal or external, the mind must be
kept
under control so that it is not distracted. One way of doing this is
by choosing
something
as the object of concentration which will make the mind experience peace
and
steadiness.
For this purpose the mantra Om, a flower, a picture of your Guru, a
Deity,
or the flame of a
candle can be chosen.
The candle flame is the most
convenient and
practical
object for beginners."
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
