Bairag: The Taste of Renunciation

The life of an ordinary man is a life of consumptions. From something as tangible as a heavy meal, to something as subtle as an orgasm, it is nothing but a hunger and a gratification; a desire and a consumption. During most of the day, if he is not eating or drinking something then he is reading, watching or listening to something and thus feeding his senses on subtle diets. He is always consuming something or the other and when he is tired of all these consumptions, he finally shuts off everything and settles down to consume sleep. The momentum of the day frequently expresses itself in the form of dreams and the subconscious creates new ways of feeding the senses.
