Once one is in a near constant dialogue with God, He may allow you to meditate on Him/Her. Meditation (dhyana) on God is known as bhakti in the religious traditions of India. It follows on from adherence to and practice of karma yoga: performance of actions in accordance with one's duty in a spirit devoid of the motive of personal gain (see Duty and the Path of Karma Yoga ).

It is not advisable to meditate on Him before being permitted to do so by God or by your spiritual guide. As described in the Yoga Sutras , there is a sequence of stages. Meditation is a result, a benefit of practice, rather than being something to be tried as an experiment. Of course, by this I do not mean that you should not think of God and worship Him/Her. Quite the opposite. Indeed, the second half of the first chapter of the yoga sutra (for example sutras I.33 to I.39, depending on one's stage of development and one's inclination) contains many practices that you may find helpful in specifically coming closer to God, including chanting the mantra 'AUM' . And the whole of the chapter on practice (Chapter II) discusses the practical way for anyone to follow the path of surrendering to God. One has a limited time available to come closer to God, with all the distractions of the world and so it is best to follow the time honoured advice contained in the yoga sutra rather than to make up one's own strategy. Before one is ready, sitting for meditation can make the mind dull or allow undesireable thoughts to surface and in some cases can result in a variety of mental diseases.

It is not necessary to describe the meditation and process because God will give you all the instructions that you need and these will vary from person to peron.

Meditating on God is a tiring process and you will need conducive conditions (a place that is light, free from noise, clean, free from pollution, warm but not hot). You will need a strong steady spine, a tranquil pure mind filled with innocence. You need to be free from tensions and stress and to be alone. You will need plenty of undisturbed sleep and to practise Savasana.

Meditation on God can be an occassional gift to you or it can be a regular occurrence.
