Mahatma Gandhi said 'the real seat of taste is not the tongue, but the mind,' emphasizing that aesthetic appreciation and judgment originate from mental and spiritual refinement rather than physical sensation.

For Gandhi, true discrimination and taste came from cultivated intellect and moral sensitivity, not mere physical pleasure.
