“The connection between evil and Mṛtyu, Death, as well as that between death and desire finally became clear when it was realized that "Death is hunger." This revelation summed up the bond between desire and evil, through Death. Hunger is a desire, but a desire that involves killing, for it makes something disappear. The inevitability of that Evil which is Death was thus found in the first desire to prolong and perpetuate life, which is hunger.”
