Once you decide that the orchard in your mind is His, all fruits will be sweet.  That sharanaagathi (seeking refuge for protection) will render all fruits acceptable to the Lord, and so, they cannot be bitter.  And for water, what can be purer and more precious than your tears?  Shed, not in grief, but in rapture at the chance to serve the Lord and to walk along the path that leads to Him!
