Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 49 · Verse 72

Joy in taste

Eat or drink something you truly enjoy. While the pleasure is present, live in the joy itself rather than in the flavors, the opinions about the food, or the next bite. An ordinary meal is enough. You are not becoming a connoisseur. You are using a simple pleasure as a door, and then staying in the room it opens.

Older line

From the delight of eating and drinking, a joy of savor swells. Dwell in that state of fullness, and great bliss follows.

After you look: if it is still alive, stay with it. If it has gone quiet, let tomorrow bring the next one.
