On direct experience...


“A king asked a sage to explain the Truth. In response
the sage asked the king how he would convey the
taste of a mango to someone who had never
eaten anything sweet. No matter how hard
the king tried, he could not adequately 
describe the flavor of the fruit, and, in frustration, 
he demanded of the sage "Tell me then, how would 
you describe it?" The sage picked up a mango and 
handed it to the king saying "This is very sweet.
Try eating it!"”
