BITTERNESS : Man is born bitter but has an innate capacity to be sweet. Bitterness is like a hard shell that surrounds a seed: it is protective, it protects the inner sweetness. It is an armor, it had to be dropped one day. The day the seed drops its hard shell it starts growing into a sprout. The same happens with human consciousness. Drop all kinds of bitternesses—anger, greed, jealousy, domination— and then suddenly there is an explosion of sweetness. That sweetness is love, that sweetness is compassion, that sweet- ness is prayer; and to taste it is to have tasted God himself.
