and sinks in languor,
while the soul is getting cleaner, is about to sink in spontaneous peace....
The pitcher's sense of touch asks the pitcher, what is this touch?
The pitcher says that it is the pure touch, its experience is not possible
without getting heated and burnt.
In the meantime
the pitcher's tongue also declares
in this context the belief held by some intellectuals that
'there is the absence of taste in fire',
is contradicted by experience and inference. When the smoke can be tasted,
then,
why will the tongue not have the taste of the fire?
Yes! Yes!!
That tongue can only have the taste
which has risen not only above the desire to
live
but also above the fear of death.
The individual under the control of
the sense of taste
can never get acquainted
with the true taste of anything.
On mixing milk in cooked rice
it becomes a mixed taste,
not a distinct taste of milk and rice; and on mixing sugar candy...
