Verse 64:
A fool, even though he is associated with a wise man all his life,
cannot understand the Dhamma,
just as a spoon cannot come to know the taste of soup

Verse 65:
An intelligent man, even though he is associated with a wise man only for a moment,
quickly understands the Dhamma,
just as the tongue knows the taste of soup
