If you are accustomed to eating very spicy food ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro

If you are accustomed to eating very spicy food, food prepared without spices seems bland and boring. But if you persevere over a certain period of time, the subtle flavours of such natural food begun to emerge, and the feeling that something is missing from it disappears.

A quiet mind can at first seem like natural food lacking spice. It provides none of the excitement and drama given by constant stimulation of the senses. But if you persevere you will discover a beauty and profundity in the clear, quiet mind that is truly satisfying.
