The attraction that consciousness feels in regard to things outside, gross or subtle, beautiful or otherwise, is the peculiar placement of these objects in a location that would fit into the particular type of limitation in which consciousness is involved at any given moment. Any given moment is something to be emphasised, because we would not be attracted to a thing always, throughout our life. Also, we cannot be attracted to everything at the same time. So, there seems to be a psychological intervention of our own selves in the reading of meaning in the objects of the world, and that alone can be tasty which will fit into the particular lacuna of our psyche, and, incidentally, of the senses, because the two go together. So, what you call taste, including beauty, sweetness, etc., is the filling of the gap in a particular structural pattern of consciousness at a given moment of time, and not always, so that there is nothing, and there can be nothing which we can like always.
Nothing can be sweet always, nothing can be beautiful always.
It can be so only at a particular time, even ugliness is not a permanent feature, because when beauty goes, ugliness also goes. Thus, the whole pattern of our experience of life in the world seems to be a sort of metaphysical aberration of our own selves, a type of abnormality that has crept into consciousness, and at a special level we should say that the whole world is abnormal in the sense that it cannot know either its own self or the nature of that which it considers as worthwhile and real. Sometimes poets consider the world as a madhouse where everyone is equally crazy with a uniform intensity of error of perception, and there is no one to recognise what has happened. The unnaturalness of the movement of consciousness in the world of objects becomes patent when we realise that such an experience cannot be explained on the nature of consciousness itself. Here, I shall not repeat, once again, what I had pointed out earlier, namely, what this oneself is, or what within is, or without is.
