Meditating without a photograph?

[Guest guest]

Dear Jagbir,

 

Do you know of anyone who has experimented meditating without a

photograph? I found it quite unusual that even at Mataji's puja

people were looking at their i.d. tags to see the photograph of

mataji to meditate.

 

I for one am confused. I stopped using the photogrpah sometime back

and i cant say for sure if my meditation is the way it was intended

to be. There is a regular barrage of thoughts and in a 30 minute

session, i have to pull back from my thoughts at least 5-6 times.

This is distinctly different from the experiences in the initial

months. i'd appreciate any views on this.

 

I've moved to Bangalore now. I went throught the website and the

sahaj ashrams are in odd places. i havent yet gone to any in the past

few weeks. For now, im meditating at home...again i wonder if I'll

make any progress this way.
