According to the Yogasutras of Patanjali, emptying the mind completely is considered Yoga, which leads to serene meditation. The bhakti sutras suggest that continuous thoughts about God also accomplish the same.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna asks Lord Krishna how to know Him through constant remembrance, and he also seeks to understand which specific objects are worthy of meditation.
One might wonder if we would get distracted by meditating on these objects. The answer is that we would only get distracted if we do not see His presence in them.
Although Lord Krishna has briefly explained His manifestations in the 7th and 9th chapters of the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna wants to hear an extended version. He feels that he is not fully satisfied and wishes to listen again and again.
