Six Worlds of Samsara 4. The World of Hungry Spirits (Parta-Luka) Ancient texts describe the Prits as beings with huge bellies and needle-like throats: they are always hungry, but can never get enough. This is a perfect metaphor for the psychology of scarcity. Endless shopping, dependence on the attention of others, thirst for new emotions, stress eating. The hungry spirit constantly tries to plug the inner hole with external resources - things, people, information - but everything falls into the void. Real poverty is not a lack of money, but a broken internal mechanism, basically unable to feel satiety. Indian lotus.
