What is it like to perceive without 5 Skandas? My understanding of Nibbana is a person who has overcome 5 skandas.
I could not perceive the state as we are constantly bombarded with internal and external stimulations which makes me assume that this state can never be achieved and only an incremental change towards nibbana can happen. This leads to another interesting observation, if 5 skandas are overcome, does one really need a body? If body is not needed, then is Nibbana attained only at death?
What is it like to be without skandas?
Nibbana is the 5 skandas have overcome the idea of a "person" &amp; "who". 

The Pali scriptures define Nibbana as the end of greed, hatred &amp; delusion and occurring to a living conscious mind. The following is merely one teaching from many:


  Here a bhikkhu is an arahant, one whose taints are destroyed, the holy life fulfilled, who has done what had to be done, laid down the
  burden, attained the goal, destroyed the fetters of being, completely
  released through final knowledge. However, his five sense faculties
  remain unimpaired, by which he still experiences what is agreeable and
  disagreeable and feels pleasure and pain. It is the extinction of
  attachment, hate and delusion in him that is called the
  Nibbana-element...
