It is physically real. (Oh yes, it drips allright.)
It is metaphorical real. (It is glorious bliss.)
That is just the neat thing about it...
Reality is all-inclusive
(Oh, as an aside, the sinuses are not involved, it is the ventricles. The
saliva glands are affected though. But seet saliva and nectar are not the
same.)

It is good in experience (all senses are involved) as well as essence.

Now the neat thing is that when it comes down to it, that that is not so.
At some point irreversibility of the awareness takes place because it is a
physical/spiritual process and instance. (Should not have to use dualist
terminology. But OK.)
At some point one re/dis/covers that one is originally 'physically/ AND
spiritually bliss'
The amrita experience covers and includes our whole integral,
intricate/extricate reality, from the absolutely physical (massive and
temporal) to the absolutely spiritual (energy),
Ecstasy/enstasy.
form/void/skandas (avalokiteshvara bodhisattva)
Now the Buddha (Siddharta), knew about all this, he discovered in fact that
ecstasy/enstasy is conditionless, is in essence and in fact 'a-moral'. The
concern was that psychopathic tendencies were a possibility that needed to
be prevented.
He called a convention 'at some timeless/spaceless point' of the 7 and 5
(whatever that means). Was called in as well, after my forty day temptation
test. (What a wonderful grace!) Discussed the implications of a-morality
(possible psychopathy) , 't was decided to set up the hina/maha/vajra
vehicles.
Love, Wim
