Verse 6.11.73

संभोगोत्तममाभासं चिद्ब्रह्मास्म्यपवासनम् ।
खण्डादिस्वादुसंवित्तिरीषन्मात्रा तु तिष्ठति ॥ ७३ ॥

saṃbhogottamamābhāsaṃ cidbrahmāsmyapavāsanam |
khaṇḍādisvādusaṃvittirīṣanmātrā tu tiṣṭhati || 73 ||

The thought that I am Brahma, affords afar greater delight to the soul, than the taste of any sweet meat, which gives but a momentary delight, so the sruti:—God is all sweetness [Sanskrit: rasobetat]
