Dhammapada · 5.6

Muhuttamapi ce viññū, paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati;Khippaṃ dhammaṃ vijānāti, jivhā sūparasaṃ yathā.

Muhuttamapi ce vinnu, panditam payirupasati; Khippam dhammam vijanati, jivha suparasam yatha.

But the discerning one, even for a moment attending the wise, swiftly comprehends the Dhamma — as the tongue comprehends the taste of the soup.
