In the temporary material world we try to taste through temporary senses. It is always frustrating because of the temporary nature. We always desire what we don't have and are fearful we will lose whatever it is we might have, So the pleasure has a good deal of frustration that accompanies it.
The higher taste that will allow us to desire the higher taste and abandon the lower taste is given by those who are already enjoying on that higher platform. They hand it down like a precious ripe mango from the top of the tree and they may also record their ecstasy in the scriptures. There are those fortunate few who can extract the sweet taste just by reading their words.
But mostly we will need to associate with someone in person in the here and now who is able to extract the sweet essence. And by that association revive our ability to recognize and relish the pure sweetness of love of God.
