Meister Eckhart on Tasting God - Matthew Fox

The word “taste” in both Hebrew and Latin comes from the word for wisdom. Eckhart tells this story: “I was once asked why good people feel so happy with God and are so eager to serve Him. I replied by saying it was because they had tasted God, and it would be strange indeed if the soul that had once tasted and tried God could taste anything else.”
