Sometimes it was during the breaks that the real meditation happened - moments when it was obvious that wisdom is not something you have, but a wave-length you tune in to.

About This Quote

That actual realization of enlightenment is not something you have, but rather something you tune in to. In a way, the experience feels a lot like a high. You know it’s there, but you can’t quite reach it. Your brain is telling you that you’re getting close, but your senses are telling you otherwise.

That being said, meditation is all about that brief moment when the waves finally start to synchronize and then hit full force. You can feel it approaching in the pit of your stomach and then suddenly it hits and everything falls away to give way to a perfect calmness.
