# Taste And Hunger

Rating: 5.0


taste and hunger
we make our foods with taste
it is not just to satisfy hunger
every aspect of our lives have both
taste and hunger
need and expression
wealth and money would satisfy
need and hunger
taste is never satisfied
taste never needs to be curtailed too
taste leads us to the truth
taste is the tongue of our soul
taste would satisfy itself in the absolute truth

taste is never satisfied taste never needs to be curtailed too taste leads us to the truth... I actually did not get these lines. For a really hungry man, everything can be very delicious - even a cup of water. When taste can be taken as desire in the figurative sense, I don't think that it leads us to the ultimate spiritual truth. Taste is only a concept in relation to our body, mind and this material world. It has its own significance. I do not forget this aspect but if we do not try to moderate our tastes, it can be harmful also. Let us enjoy this life, no doubt but if we leave our tastes to the sole control of our senses, it can be disastrous both to ourselves towards the end of our life as well to the society in many ways. Our ancient rishis did not ask us to quit this material life but had only asked us to lead a well, disciplined life - Jeevema saratha satham, Srunuvama saratha satham etc....thanks.

There is a saying 'Opinions differ, tastes differ.' One man's food is another man's poison. So, taste has its own advantage and disadvantage. Well composed.
