Hi md,
I like your quotation of Khalil Gubran. Gubran wrote in English as well as Arabic. I read some of his Arabic books as well as his most known book in English, The Profit.
His writings evoke melancholy which he says that it is only the other face of happiness !
He so beautifully explains that reality goes beyond what we see, touch and feel and his insights make it easier for one to bear pain and suffering.

deep relaxation is heaven!
from your article:
Quite literally, sustained meditation leads to something called neuroplasticity, which is defined as the brain's ability to change, structurally and functionally, on the basis of environmental input.
For much of the last century, scientists believed that the brain essentially stopped changing after adulthood.
But research by University of Wisconsin neuroscientist Richard Davidson has shown that experienced meditators exhibit high levels of gamma wave activity and display an ability -- continuing after the meditation session has attended -- to not get stuck on a particular stimulus. That is, they're automatically able to control their thoughts and reactiveness.
