Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 95
Verse 14 of 22

Those Who Taste, Love the Flavor

ਜਿਨੀ ਚਾਖਿਆ ਤਿਨਾ ਸਾਦੁ ਆਇਆ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਬੂਝ ਬੁਝਾਈ ॥੧੩॥
jinee chaakhi-aa tinaa saad aa-i-aa satgur boojh bujhaa-ee. ||13||
Those who taste, enjoy the flavor; the True Guru imparts this understanding. ||13||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Those who taste it enjoy the flavor.

The True Guru gives this understanding.

You do not argue someone into a taste — they have to taste it.
The deeper layer

Jinee chaakhiaa tinaa saad aaiaa — the taste-metaphor: you cannot be argued into loving something, you have to taste it. Boojh bujhaaee — the understanding is given by the teacher.

A Question to Sit With

What did you only understand once you tried it yourself?
