We go on eating things; we cannot live without them. But we eat them very unconsciously,
automatically, robot-like. If the taste is not lived, you are just stuffing. Go slow, and be aware of
the taste. And only when you go slow can you be aware. Do not just go on swallowing things. Taste
them unhurriedly and become the taste. When you feel sweetness, become that sweetness. And
then it can be felt all over the body — not just in the mouth, not just on the tongue, it can be felt all
over the body! A certain sweetness — or anything else — is spreading in ripples. Whatsoever you are
eating, feel the taste and become the taste.
