Answer this question to the best of your ability:
How can I avoid making my object of meditation the focus of my practice?
The key to avoiding this is by moving beyond the stage of contemplation and working towards achieving the state of 'Dhyana'. In Dhyana, there is no object of meditation, as you are not aware of anything, not even of nothingness. This state is achieved when you let go of all mental constructs, including your object of meditation. As you progress in your practice, focus on deepening your inner awareness and cultivating a sense of presence rather than clinging to any specific object or focus.
