That the Brahman) is the true Brahma-city (not the body)... In it all desires are contained...

“Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)
............................................................................................................................................
Jesus knew that the Kingdom of Heaven was not a separate place that would appear here or there, but that it was within, as a State of Mind that was freely available to all.
.............................................................................................................................................
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17)
..............................................................................................................................................
The word "repent" simply means to change one's mind. Jesus is asking us to give up our old ideas of Heaven being far away. It is not some place far in the clouds, nor a place that we will go to someday in the future. Rather, he says it is "at hand", meaning that it is very close (like a hand).............................. from www.the-christ.net

Francis’s mystical union with Christ reached its peak when he received the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, on Mount La Verna. Yet his true mysticism was not in visions but in his complete poverty of spirit — his ability to love with pure simplicity.

' The Experience of 'Jhana ' and ' Dhyana '...
This experience is jhāna, (Sanskrit: dhyāna)... It’s a word, that just means “meditation”, or “absorption,”, and it arises, when the five hindrances of ill will,, sense desire,, restlessness, and anxiety,, sloth and torpor,, and doubt have been dispelled... The turbulent emotions, and random thoughts, that normally fill our consciousness, are gone,, and we find, that the mind is naturally joyful and focused.
........................................................................................................................................
There are four levels of jhāna,, each one deeper,, quieter,, and more fulfilling, than the one preceding it... Collectively, they constitute sammā samādhi,, or right concentration, in the eightfold path............................. from wildmind.org
