There are many objects of meditation like for example love or compassion. First I try to find my object through contemplation and once I found it I try to hold it with my concentration without allowing my mind to wonder. So for example if I want to meditate on love for others first I contemplate others kindness and through that I am able to develop feeling of love for them. Then I try to hold this feeling in my mind without distraction. If my mind wonders to different object that means that I lost my concentration. There are many different objects of meditation. Depending on what qualities I want to develop in my mind I choose appropriate object. In general meditation brings to my mind incredible feeling of peace. That is why I meditate. There is nothing else to compare with that. My mind receives such powerful blessings through meditation. Meditation makes you happy :-) For me meditation means concentration on chosen object.
