Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself.
The mind stops all the [thought-waves] and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. … …
You do not feel the body or anything else.
When you come out of it after the hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you ever had in your life.
That is the only way you ever give rest to your system.
Not even the deepest sleep will give you such rest as that.
The mind goes on jumping even in deepest sleep.
Just those few minutes [in meditation] your brain has almost stopped. Just a little vitality is kept up. You forget the body. You may be cut to pieces and not feel it at all. You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light.
This perfect rest we get in meditation.
