True meditation gives us, as it were, wings for flight to a higher realm and thus detaches us from terrestrial fetters. – Paramananda

[I]t can feel as if the entire body has dropped away or has become transparent, as if its substance were in some way erased. It can feel as if there is nothing but breath flowing freely across all the boundaries of the body. – Jon Kabat-Zinn, Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind

Once you start drinking a little of meditativeness, a little of love, you start growing wings. – Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Words are but the shell; meditation is the kernel. – Bahya ibn Paquda
