The path of Sankirtan and Bhajan is the easiest way to be thoughtless. There is no constraint of time, space or supervision, nor does it cost anything - we merely listen to the tape and forget ourselves in the process.
Listening to a cassette in the early morning hours or participating in Bhajan in the company of devotees or when we are alone, we get lost in Divine ecstasy. Once we crave the company of God, we think about Him and sing His glory. With our chanting, thoughts stop. Then we become "absent" and only Bhagawan is there. That is the thoughtless state of meditation.
(From the book "Sai-chology" by Prof. K. Anil Kumar)
