SB 3.27.18
TEXT 18
|
TRANSLATION
As there is no separate existence of flavor and the earth or the water and its taste, similarly there cannot be any separate existence of intelligence and consciousness.
PURPORT
The example is given here that anything material has got some flavor. The flower or the earth or anything has got a flavor. So if the flavor is separated from the matter, matter cannot be identified. Just like if there is no taste of water, the water has no meaning; if there is no heat in the fire, the fire has no meaning. Similarly, when there is a want of consciousness or intelligence, the spirit has no meaning.
