"..For hunger is death..."
-Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad
What an interesting statement. I can imagine an all-consuming nothingness, a hunger reduced to hunger alone. But is this to say that our hunger, our drive, the thing which motivates us to enrich our lives, is in itself a taste of death? I cannot imagine that "hunger" is only being used to describe humanity's longing for food.
It's difficult to put my thoughts on this quote into words.
