There is much confusion as regards 'meditation'. What is the object of meditation and how to meditate are important problems. The mind is a store house of energy, a generator, that constantly vibrates once it is initiated. The mind is activated by sources which are extremely difficult to trace. Once the source of generation of thoughts, ideas, images, imagination, aspiration, dreams are all traced it becomes easy to control the mind. Thus, the mind is the problem in meditation. Mind does not allow concentration and it is extremely difficult to concentrate on abstract things. Thus, the methods of concentration, meditation, are explained by Sri Shankaracharya, thus-
Meditate on "That supreme brahmn, which cannot be comprehended by speech, but is accessible to the eye of pure illumination;which is stainless, the embodiment of knowledge, the 'Beginningless Entity' - that brahmn art thou.Meditate this in thy mind."
