Kunga,
can you explain to someone the taste of honey ?
no, but you can explain to them what is not the taste of honey, or where to find honey, or where not to find honey.
Suppose you thought you were tasting honey, but the truth is that you were actually tasting hardened urine pellets. Wouldn't it be my responsibility to tell you that what you were experiencing was not honey? Especially if you were giddy with happiness, and trying to share your hardened urine pellets with everyone?
Or perhaps you were searching for honey in a septic tank, rather then in a tree with a large bee hive? do you follow?
Or perhaps your description logically of what honey was didn't match what honey is so you were misguided and misdirected...
Language is a pointer. words point, but the pointer is not the pointed. People often times confuse the pointer as the pointed. Meaning, they get a warm fuzzy feeling from the pointer, and the miss the pointed.
I know someone who once told me, "what I love about enlightenment is how mysterious and dark it is" And I said, "no, it is not any of that, you are projecting emotions upon those words, and enjoying the emotions, the association, but you have no idea what the thing called enlightenment is"
That is what I hate about gurus who spew all that crap, they are selling people emotions, not the truth. The truth is actually very specific, but sometimes very difficult to understand because the ego thinks in linear dualistic terms, and the truth is mind blowing to that framework. It takes a lot of careful critical thinking to discover, critical thinking combined with an honest inward examination of ones own mindset/behavior/habits and so on.
