Sweetness is born of Sattwa. It is the aroma of a perfected soul or an adept. It. is acquired through long and intense austerity, discipline, Yoga practice and communion with God in silence.
Sweetness should be the most essential attribute of a spiritual propagandist and public worker. The Rajasic ego should melt in the crucible of the Yogic fire. Rajas should be churned out. Then the butter of sweetness will float on the surface of the Sattwit mind.
