Meaning of “He who has tasted the sweetness of solitude…”
Solitude is valued because it can create conditions for tranquility and sustained attention, not because isolation itself is always preferable to human connection.
Where does it come from?
Dhammapada 205, Max Müller translation; the verse joins solitude and tranquillity with “drinking in the law,” preserving its religious context.
