How many tastes are there in the subtle worlds in addition to those above mentioned? Are there other ones than those known on this earth?
There are sour, pungent and astringent tastes – but also others that do not come under any classification1.
1 The faculty of subtle taste and other such faculties ceased a short time after their purpose had been served – that is, to open the being to occult knowledge and powers. All sorts of tastes, some combined in form, and at times even opposite, like bitter and sweet, were actually swallowed up in the end by the Amrita.
